A Dream of Red Mansions: A Fairy Tale of Dreams (Complete) - Episode 11

Chapter 43 Falling for Xiangling (Part 2)

"Ah!" Although Xiangling was somewhat prepared, she still couldn't withstand the overwhelming shock and cried out. After a moment of astonishment, the beauty gazed at the unbelievable scene before her, filled with endless curiosity, followed by boundless joy.
Cold snowflakes swirled and danced outside the invisible barrier. Without the chill of the snow, the drifting ice and snow became incredibly lovely and beautiful. The pleasing white world seemed to dance around the two of them. The beauty's joyful eyes shone with a dreamy light, completely captivated by the scene.
"Baoyu, is this...is this real?" The space between them felt as warm as springtime. Xiangling, her delicate body relaxed, seemed to be in a dream, jumping and cheering excitedly, spinning around. "It's so beautiful!
I don't hate winter anymore!" Baoyu didn't disturb the beauty's "sweet dream" with a sound. He just smiled gently and felt the beauty's unparalleled joy. When Xiangling had vented her surprise, he didn't delay any longer and reached out to abruptly embrace the delicate beauty around
the waist! "You..." Before Xiangling could utter her instinctive words of resistance, Baoyu's intimate whisper in her ear dispelled her doubts. The restraint of propriety was conquered by the beautiful expectation. The beauty, who longed to fly, struggled slightly but then nestled against Baoyu's chest like a docile lamb.
"Sister, I'll take you flying right now!" The fiery breath burned away the beauty's shyness. Before the words were even finished, an invisible radiance lifted the two figures into the air. With Bao Yu intentionally slowing down, the two perfect figures floated in the void like celestial beings, dancing and soaring with the invisible wind.
"Ah! I'm really flying!" After the initial moment of panic, Xiang Ling, driven by intense curiosity, slightly opened her eyes, which had been closed due to nervousness. She cautiously tested the air and felt no discomfort. The beauty was finally completely immersed in the novel and extraordinary feeling. She even forgot her shyness at being held in Bao Yu's arms, leaving only the wonderful pleasure of flying lingering in her heart.
Bao Yu, holding the beauty, was also in no mood to enjoy himself. In fact, it was also his first time flying in the void, and even the method of flying had suddenly popped into his mind during his intimate moments with the beauty during the day! Although this was his first time attempting this supernatural feat, the man, who was unwavering in his belief that he was a genius among geniuses, didn't hesitate to take Xiangling with him and fly away. He was incredibly pleased with himself, experiencing the wonder of defying gravity while secretly thinking to himself, "Heh, heh... I really am a genius among geniuses!"
The two, still mesmerized, flew slowly, but in a straight line, the Red Mansion came into view in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
The five-colored glow of the sunset quietly returned, and Baoyu and Xiangling landed steadily on the ground. Still not fully recovered from their recent bliss, they remained motionless, embracing each other.
Baoyu was less shocked, being the first to awaken from his reverie. He immediately noticed their intimate situation. The naturally amorous man didn't politely back down; instead, his emotions surged, and his large hand tightened slightly, the thick winter clothes unable to conceal the heat within his palm.
Taking advantage of the beauty's stunned and dazed state, his nimble hands slipped inside her cloak, tenderly roaming over her smooth waist and rounded buttocks.
A series of extraordinary events, surpassing even the mundane, subjected Xiangling to an unprecedented and intense shock. As they soared through the air, the beauty's defenses of reason crumbled, and her previously suppressed affection for Baoyu burst forth like a stampede of horses, giving her no chance to suppress her true feelings!
"Ah!" Baoyu's involuntary, increased caresses finally brought the beauty back to reality from her sweet dream. The moment she awoke, an electric shock-like tingling sensation coursed through her body, and a cry of half surprise, half moan, shattered the stillness of the night. As
the beauty regained her senses, Baoyu, instead of hastily retreating, intensified his passionate caresses, his fiery lips pressing against Xiangling's tense lips with immense pressure.
"No!" "No...run away!" Conflicting voices echoed in Xiangling's heart simultaneously. Caught in a fierce internal struggle, the delicate beauty's mind raced with a thousand thoughts. Before she could make a decision, in that fleeting moment of hesitation, Baoyu's passionate lips were only a hair's breadth away from hers. His burning breath was clearly audible, his rapid panting like a powerful hurricane stirring up a tidal wave in her heart.
Just as her rosy lips were about to be captured by Baoyu, and another beautiful young woman was about to fall into his loving embrace, exchanging her chastity for a life of true love and happiness, in this "extremely critical" moment, the Red Chamber guards, whom Baoyu had painstakingly cultivated, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, ruthlessly shattering our Second Master Bao's enchanting dream.
"Who goes there?" Two dark figures leaped into view from afar, approaching with a sharp, aggressive aura, like dragonflies skimming the water. "Private property, outsiders please leave immediately!" "Ah!" Xiangling, lost in a blissful dream, was startled awake by the shout. The beautiful woman, filled with embarrassment and embarrassment, cried out in surprise. The door to her heart, which had just opened, was slammed shut by her reserve and the weight of her married status.
The delicate young woman, her mind now changed, pushed forward with her jade-like hand like a startled deer. Although she didn't push away Baoyu's burning body, she successfully used the force of the impact to retreat. Away from the "danger," the beautiful woman stared intently at the ground, carefully searching for any cracks in the ground where she might be hiding.
"Master..." The two guards who rushed forward finally saw Bao Yu's face clearly. They abruptly swallowed the word "courage," saying, "We greet Master Bao!" The two guards weren't fools. Their master's intentions in bringing a beauty here late at night were obvious, and they had been so tactless as to break them up while their master was being intimate with his mistress! Ugh...this is terrible! How would Master Bao punish them?! Although
the two guards felt some regret, they were more amused than fearful. They knew their wise and extraordinary master wouldn't be too angry; at most, he would just use the opportunity to increase the difficulty of their training!
Thinking of this, strange smiles appeared on their faces. To have this opportunity to see Master Bao's embarrassed side was something they were willing to endure! Ha, ha...truly, like master, like servant!
"Hmm! Thank you for your hard work!" Baoyu waved his hand with a slightly hesitant and somewhat embarrassed expression. Xiangling behind him didn't even dare to raise her head. Her heart was filled with a mix of shyness and indescribable emotions. The
two guards secretly exchanged glances. Deeply influenced by their master, they hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. They moved to face Xiangling and said respectfully and in a flattering tone, "Greetings, Mistress! Please take good care of us in the future and speak well of us to the Second Master!" By the end, their expressions had become relaxed, almost to the point of fawning.
"I didn't... You've misunderstood!" The two guards' abrupt greeting made Xiangling's face turn pale instantly. She waved her hands frantically and quickly denied it. In the midst of her panicked "shock," a faint joy quietly rose in her heart.
Seeing that the two guards didn't believe her explanation, Xiangling opened her lips to explain again, but unexpectedly, Baoyu suddenly interrupted her, causing the beauty to secretly resent him in her anxiety. She both hated and...loved Baoyu for interfering!
"Sister Ling, you don't need to say anything more. They are all elites I trained. They won't misunderstand!" Baoyu's seemingly explanatory words were actually malicious. He intentionally wanted to confirm his two subordinates' guesses. This way, things would be even more confusing than before.
Under the ambiguous gazes of the two men who seemed to have "suddenly realized" their mistake, the successful Baoyu happily introduced them, "This is Miss Ling. Don't call her by the wrong name from now on, understand?" Before he finished speaking, Baoyu patted the two men's shoulders with a hint of gratitude, greatly appreciating their sensible "help," and then led Xiangling into the courtyard.
"Heh, heh... so Second Master also enjoys hunting for beauties!" The slightly taller guard's eyes shone with immense admiration as he watched his master's disappearing figure with astonishment. "Including this one, our Second Master already has three stunning beauties; he's truly blessed!" Another guard sighed in agreement, "Yes! Second Master is truly amazing! But with his character, family background, and unfathomable skills, why would he need to 'hunt' for them?! I'm afraid all the beauties in the world would automatically throw themselves at him!" As they rounded the corner, Xiang... Seeing that no one was around, Ling could no longer contain the turmoil in her mind. She gave Baoyu a big, reproachful glare, unaware that her reproachful gaze was incredibly alluring and captivating. "Baoyu, why didn't you explain yourself clearly?" "I did explain! Didn't I tell us not to misunderstand?!" Baoyu made no attempt to hide the fervor in his eyes. Beneath his feigned innocence, he secretly chuckled. He had explained, but what exactly he meant by "misunderstand" was another matter entirely! Heh, heh… The beautiful woman, after a moment's thought, understood the hidden meaning in Baoyu's words, but couldn't find a reason to refute him. She could only feign anger and say, "You…you big bad guy!" Unable to think of a more venomous insult, she pondered for a moment before turning and fleeing. The words "big bad guy," though meant to characterize Baoyu, sounded more like a playful, flirtatious exchange between lovers!
"Sister Ling!" Bao-yu, left behind, called out playfully in a drawn-out tone, his tall figure standing motionless.
The beauty, far from stopping, quickened her pace. After Bao-yu called out even louder, she finally stopped, half-resentfully, half-jokingly complaining, "You big bad guy, what...what do you want to do?" "What don't I want to do!" Bao-yu said, his face full of grievance, his voice trembling as he suppressed a laugh, "I just want to tell you, you...you've gone the wrong way!" Before Xiang-ling could reply, her heart suddenly pounded violently. Guided by a mysterious intuition, she involuntarily looked in the direction Bao-yu was pointing, tears welling in her eyes.
A barely perceptible fluctuation of magical power dispelled Bao-yu's teasing thoughts. With a premonition, he straightened up, like a jade tree in the wind, quietly awaiting the arrival of the person before him.
Impatient and restless, Zhen Shiyin couldn't wait even for a short journey. He flew out the moment he sensed Baoyu entering the mansion, completely forgetting he was in the mortal world, disregarding the shock and intrigue of the world.
Miaoyu, also waiting in the hall, hesitated for a moment, then, driven by her feelings for Baoyu, she too rushed to greet her beloved.
The two figures landed one after the other. The middle-aged scholar, eager to see, stared intently, but the sudden, overwhelming impact left him stunned.
Tears welled in his eyes. Xiangling, equally overwhelmed by the shock, stared blankly at the excited stranger before her!
How much time passed—perhaps only a moment, perhaps eternity—time itself lost its meaning; the moment and eternity became one!
After being separated for many years, the two finally approached each other slowly, drawing closer to their dearest family. The image of the young girl in Zhen Shiyin's mind rapidly grew, becoming more and more like the girl before him. Meanwhile, the refined figure etched in Xiangling's heart flashed from the depths of her consciousness, gradually overlapping and intersecting with the middle-aged scholar before her. The unfamiliar figure, amidst the flashing memories, became incredibly familiar with a speed exceeding the speed of light!
When the father and daughter, their emotions surging, were only three feet apart, they both paused simultaneously. Years of separation made their expectant hearts beat faster with trepidation.
"Yinglian, is that you?" Zhen Shiyin's expression was excited, his lips trembled, and tears welled in his red eyes as he gazed deeply at his beloved daughter, now grown into a woman.
"It's me, it's Lian'er!" Xiangling hadn't heard anyone call her by her real name in a long time. Separated from her family since childhood, her memories were hazy, with only her childhood favorite words often flashing in her dreams. Now, stimulated by the long-lost familiar name, her heart pounded, and the words burst from her lips, "Daddy, I want to eat candied hawthorns!" Baoyu, who was watching from the sidelines, had never imagined that the father and daughter would meet again with such words. As an orphan, how could he understand the inside story? He broke out in a cold sweat and almost burst out laughing. Fortunately, he shut his mouth in time, so he didn't become the most "annoying" person in the world!
Miaoyu, who had cultivated immortality since childhood, also found Xiangling's words unbelievable, but the pure-hearted beauty was immersed in the intoxicating family affection that filled the scene, and naturally did not have the strange expression of some heartless people!
The two onlookers were confused, but Zhen Shiyin, as the father, was shocked and roared wildly as if the world had turned upside down. The shout in his heart filled every inch of his mind, "It's my Lian'er, it really is my Lian'er!"
Chapter 44 Blood War Between Humans and Demons (1) Because the events were too coincidental, the middle-aged scholar with rich life experience had always had a slight instinctive doubt in his heart. The surprise that fell from the sky suddenly hit him. While excited and happy, Zhen Shiyin couldn't help but doubt. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world? He had gone through so much trouble to get it, but it was delivered to his side by someone unintentionally! It was like searching high and low without finding it, and then getting it without any effort!
The shout in his heart finally burst out of his lips. Zhen Shiyin's next action made Baoyu even more amazed. He secretly sighed and thought that no one would believe that they were father and daughter!
"Lian'er, here! This is the candied hawthorn your father bought for you, your favorite!" The last trace of doubt vanished, and a father's loving affection surged forth. The middle-aged scholar carefully took out a string of candied hawthorns wrapped in oil paper, pouring all the fatherly love accumulated over a decade into this ordinary string of candied hawthorns, and slowly handed it to Xiangling.
"Father!" The candied hawthorns, the proof of father-daughter recognition, were now complete. The beautiful woman cried out and rushed into the middle-aged scholar's arms without hesitation, her sobs rising and falling, a mixture of excitement and joy tinged with sadness!
The kind-hearted Miaoyu, sensing his pain, turned her head and gently wiped away the tears of emotion from her face.
The rogue "fake" Baoyu was also deeply shocked, but being an orphan, he was mostly filled with envy, so intense it bordered on jealousy. Even more ridiculous was that, because the beautiful woman was embracing another man, he actually felt a slight pang of jealousy at this touching moment, even though the man was her father, and even though she had only recently left his embrace—he simply couldn't resist being jealous!
"Sigh!" Feeling utterly helpless, Baoyu sighed heavily, but this didn't attract the attention of Xiangling and her father. Having no other options, he turned his attention to more important matters.
"Miaoyu, it's getting late, let's go to the Sun residence now!" Beneath his calm face, his heart was pounding, a mixture of excitement and slight trepidation. After all, this was his first trip into the "jianghu" (martial arts world), how could he not be on edge?
Miaoyu's serene eyes flashed with agreement. She didn't want to disturb Xiangling and her father's reunion, so the celestial beauty nodded slightly and turned to leave.
"Fairy Sister," Baoyu called out, half-seriously, half-playfully, his face filled with longing, "I've heard that everyone traveling the world needs a set of night clothes. Should we change too? Look at you, your white clothes are too conspicuous at night!" Before Miaoyu could reply, he proudly pulled a black package from his robes. The well-prepared fellow excitedly boasted, "These are night clothes that Qingwen personally sewed for me during the day. The style is novel, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" The self-praising fellow became increasingly fluent, but thankfully he realized his mistake in time and swallowed the last part, "Sir, one set, please." Miaoyu was
helpless against her beloved. Despite her constant cultivation, her inner peace was always easily shattered by him! The celestial beauty, her heart stirred anew, instantly descended to the mortal realm. She casually accepted the night-clothes, feigning disdain and huffing, "You big idiot! Do you think we're some worldly masters? Why would we need night-clothes to conceal our tracks? What's the point of your magic?!" "Oh!" The man, having misinterpreted her feelings and intentions, chuckled sheepishly, inwardly disappointed that he didn't need to wear "battle robes," as if that meant he wasn't a true martial artist. But how could he and Miaoyu be martial artists? Cultivators were gods in the eyes of mortals, living in a special world separate from the mundane!
Undeterred, the man pressed on hopefully, "Aren't there any cultivators who wear night clothes?" "No!" Miaoyu's tone was heavy with impatience, her heart filled with a mixture of amusement and despair. But what she couldn't accept was yet to come!
Baoyu's desire to wear his "battle robe" had reached an obsessive level. Undeterred, the persistent fellow chuckled roguishly, "Then let's break this unreasonable rule! Who says cultivators can't wear night clothes? Let's show them tonight!" With a soft "whoosh," Miaoyu casually unfurled Baoyu's ingeniously crafted new night clothes. Her serene eyes swept over them, revealing that, as Baoyu had boasted, not only was the design novel and seamlessly integrated, but a hood was also attached with silk thread. While not exactly aesthetically pleasing, the style was absolutely unique and unheard of!
Although it was completely unexpected, Miaoyu showed no interest in such worldly things. Her bland words made Baoyu, who was full of expectations, look gloomy. "I can't use this thing!" The beauty paused slightly, feeling sorry for Baoyu's genuine disappointment, and had to change the subject. "But this head covering can be used!" With a gentle pull of her jade hand, under the flow of magical power, the clothes were torn silently, and the battle robe that Baoyu had painstakingly made was separated from his head!
The beautiful woman, who had meant well but had done something "bad," showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, she gently comforted him, saying, "You can use it like this too. There's no need to dress so strangely!" Although Baoyu, who was deeply in love with the woman, felt heartbroken, he wouldn't hold a grudge against her. However, he was very dissatisfied with her evaluation and muttered to himself like a child, "What do you mean by strangely?! This is the most fashionable spacesuit of the future, an essential item for people to wear when they go on vacation to travel in space!" The guy, unwilling to give up his "battle robe," put on an innocent and cute look and stared at the woman with a helpless expression. "But I'm already wearing it. Look!" As he spoke, he lifted his outer robe, revealing the hem of his night-clothes underneath.
"Sigh!" Miaoyu sighed deeply, her expression one of utter dismay, as if questioning the heavens. "Whatever! You big idiot!" The two had already moved far from the Red Chamber villa amidst their intimate banter. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the uncouth rogue, who had no regard for manners, was overjoyed. Before the beauty had even finished speaking, he had swiftly removed his outer robe, revealing his long-hidden "battle armor" to the world. He didn't even put on the cloak that had been discarded on the ground, and stood triumphantly in the wind and rain, which added a touch of sharp and capable air to his appearance.
"Satisfied now!" Miaoyu glared at Baoyu resentfully, but the flirtatious look in her eyes completely changed the nature of her threat. Under the repeated pleas of her beloved, the beauty finally reluctantly put on the veil. In an instant, her peerless jade-like face was covered by the silk cloth, leaving only her bright eyes and red lips to express her strong dissatisfaction.
"The Sun residence is just ahead!" Baoyu pointed ahead, his voice brimming with excitement. Thanks to their wondrous speed-moving technique, Sun Shaozu's mansion came into view in a short time.
The woman, her mind racing with desire, suddenly felt a jolt, all her playful antics and emotions vanishing. Her divine duty to vanquish demons and monsters transported Miaoyu back to her celestial realm, where she once again became a beautiful, ethereal fairy.
Although Baoyu loved to tease the woman, his seriousness was undeniable. He suddenly sprang into action, his soaring passion causing Miaoyu's eyes to light up, even with her calm Daoist heart.
"Cheers!" Though the night was deep, the luxurious Sun residence was still brightly lit. In the hall, amidst the scattered cups and plates, Sun Shaozu and Xiong Shanjun were exchanging toasts, their drinking in full swing!
The maids serving wine and the singers performing music were all half-naked, their flesh gleaming. The two lecherous men, amidst the clinking of glasses, indulged in their decadent luxury, reveling in the exquisite beauty of the women.
"Layman, I, Sun, offer you a toast," Sun Shaozu said with a wild laugh, his large hands roughly kneading the full breasts of the beautiful woman in his arms. He spoke respectfully, "Thanks to your brilliant plan, we've already robbed the Jia family of a large quantity of goods. That'll be enough to make them suffer!" Xiong Shanjun maintained his usual superior image in front of mortals like Sun Shaozu. Although he also took advantage of the naked woman's body, his expression remained calm and composed. "Although the Jia and Xue families have suffered some setbacks this time, it cannot truly damage their foundation. Brother Sun, you must not be careless!" "Understood, understood..." The violent Zhongshan wolf was as gentle as a lamb in front of Xiong Shanjun. This was partly because what the other man said was indeed reasonable, and partly due to the long-term, subtle influence of the demonic talisman on his chest. Unaware that he was already in a deadly situation, Zhongshan wolf was filled with anticipation, fantasizing that one day he too could fly and disappear, becoming omnipotent, and then he could have any beauty in the world at his fingertips!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu felt a surge of passion. A stunningly beautiful face flashed before his eyes, and lust rushed to his eyes. The wolf in the Zhongshan Mountain, with his eyes gleaming green, roared in his heart—Jia Yingchun, I must have you!
"Brother Sun, Brother Sun..." Xiong Shanjun's face, which had been tinged with gloom, flashed with a mocking smile. He gently woke Zhongshan Wolf and teased, "Are you thinking of that beautiful Yingchun from the Jia family again?!" "Heh, heh..." Sun Shaozu chuckled shamelessly, unconsciously sticking out his wolf tongue to lick his lips. "You understand me best, Layman. If I let such a beauty go, I wouldn't be Zhongshan Wolf!
Ha, ha... I've decided to go to the Jia family to propose marriage as soon as possible. If I can successfully become the Jia family's son-in-law, it might even make our great cause twice as effective!!" Xiong Shanjun echoed with loud laughter. The maids in the hall had already been trained into puppets by the evil Zhongshan Wolf and lost their nature. They turned a deaf ear to the words of the two demons and only knew how to use their bodies to please their masters!
The two figures who were lying on the roof trembled at the same time. Baoyu, dressed in all black, had his eyes blazing with anger. The violent fluctuation of his emotions almost made him lose control of his invisibility magic.
"Don't alert the enemy!" A calm warning echoed in Baoyu's mind. Miaoyu and Baoyu were now of one mind, needing no words of help. The beautiful woman gently comforted him, "The middle-aged man below must be a demon in disguise. I fought him at the Jia Mansion last time, the night Jin Chuan'er had her accident!" Mentioning Baoyu's painful memories, Miaoyu's celestial voice involuntarily paused slightly. Seeing that although his expression darkened, he was still able to control himself, the celestial beauty, relieved, continued, "Although this demon's magic is not weak, he is not qualified to create such a monstrous and unnatural object as the Demon Talisman! We only need to follow him, and we will surely find out the real demon behind it all!" "I understand!" Baoyu's mind finally returned to calm, but his hatred for Sun Shaozu deepened once again. His mind raced, secretly pondering a way to save Yingchun. He absolutely could not let Yingchun marry a wolf in sheep's clothing like in "Dream of the Red Chamber"!
"Layman, I, Sun, truly admire you to the point of prostration!" Sun Shaozu raised his cup again in a toast, his words flowing freely as he became increasingly animated, as if he had to get to the point. "Snatching cigarettes may not cripple the Jia family, but it will definitely attract the attention of both the Jia and Xue families. Then Brother Zhao's trip to Jinling will be completely unnoticed! Heh, heh..." Xiong Shanjun couldn't help but feel very proud of his brilliant plan. This was the result of his painstaking efforts under the pressure of the Whirlwind King. The man, starting to lose his composure, no longer cared about pretending to be aloof. After a series of wicked chuckles, he became increasingly smug. "At this rate, Brother Zhao should be arriving in Jinling soon. As long as he can successfully capture Xue Pan and Magistrate Jia Yucun, what's there to fear about bringing down the Jia and Xue families?" "Yes, yes..." Zhongshan Wolf's face was also flushed with excitement. "Then we can follow the clues and pin some serious crimes on the Wang and Shi families, and we can enjoy our wealth for the rest of our lives!" The two men, talking excitedly, were utterly thrilled. Baoyu, on the rooftop, listened with growing alarm, inwardly cursing himself for being so stupid! He had always relied on his supernatural powers and knowledge of the history of "Dream of the Red Chamber," so he hadn't taken his worldly enemies seriously. He hadn't considered that the human heart was something that "history" could control, much less that magic could fathom!
Cold sweat soaked through Baoyu's outer robe. Miaoyu, though uninterested in worldly affairs, was deeply concerned for her beloved. Her jade-like hand, brimming with care, quietly grasped Baoyu's large hand, calming his restless heart with her own composure.
"Thank you!" Baoyu murmured gratefully, his heart overflowing with emotion. Though such formality was unnecessary between them, he couldn't help but express his thanks to the beauty.
Chapter 45: Baoyu Unleashes His Power (Part 1) His chaotic thoughts vanished, and Baoyu, regaining his composure, shifted his focus. His increasingly powerful, wild spirit eliminated any remaining weakness in his heart. Overwhelmed with heroic ambition, he roared inwardly, "Come on! If I, 'fake'
Baoyu, cannot handle your schemes and tricks, what right do I have to talk about changing the tragedy of the 'Dream of the Red Chamber'?!"
"Not to mention saving the suffering people of the world!" The stronger the enemy, the more interesting the game will be! A soaring fighting spirit filled Baoyu's unrestrained heart, and thinking of this, his upright figure faintly revealed an incomparably powerful aura—a domineering aura of scorn for heaven and earth, fearless and undaunted!
"Layman, according to the scouts, that fellow Prince Zhongshun has also taken an interest in cigarettes. Should we also…" Sun Shaozu's otherwise dignified face flashed with a fierce glint. As he spoke, he made a beheading gesture with his hand, slightly worried, "Otherwise, if that idiot Jia Baoyu joins forces with him, things won't be as easy as they are now!" "There's no need!" Xiong Shanjun was indeed quite shrewd. After a moment's thought, he leisurely said, "Although that scoundrel Prince Zhongshun has considerable power, he is inherently greedy. How could he truly cooperate with the Jia family?" "What are you doing?!" Xiong Shanjun picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. After enjoying it for a moment and closing his eyes, he continued smugly, "I'm afraid Prince Zhongshun doesn't want to cooperate with the Jia family. He probably wants to swallow this huge piece of fat meat, the cigarettes. Why don't we just watch from the sidelines and then reap the benefits?!" "Ha, ha... So that's how it is!" Zhongshan Wolf slammed his hand on the table in surprise. He then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a match made by Baoyu, and began to puff out clouds of smoke. Baoyu on the roof was greatly annoyed by what he saw!
Sun Shaozu, looking utterly captivated, muttered to himself, "This thing is truly a fine product! It's amazing that Shi Yu could create it!" A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xiong Shanjun again, seeking his opinion: "Why is it that no matter how hard we try, we can't replicate the taste of this 'Red Mansion' cigarette?! It's really strange, it's just crushed tobacco leaves, isn't it?" "I don't understand!" Xiong Shanjun exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, laughing nonchalantly, "Whatever, the more impossible it is to imitate, the more advantageous it is for us. After we bring down the Jia family, are we afraid that a lowly commoner like Shi Yu won't obey us?!" "What you say is very true, sir!" Sun Shaozu nodded in agreement, then said with a regretful expression, "Brother Zhao had already devised a plan to win over Shi Yu before he left, it's just a pity about such a beautiful woman, I really feel a little reluctant! But this will definitely bewitch that Shi..." "Yu is dizzy and disoriented!" "Brother Sun, are you talking about Fu Qiufang, the sister of that nouveau riche Fu Shi?" Xiong Shanjun also had a wolfish look on his face. "I didn't expect Brother Zhao to be so willing! I heard that Fu Shi originally wanted to offer his sister to Brother Zhao." "Yes!" Zhongshan Wolf couldn't help but swallow hard when he thought of Fu Qiufang's delicate and smooth face. "She is a great beauty, only slightly inferior to Jia Yingchun! That's what I admire most about Brother Zhao!" He changed the subject, his wolfish face revealing strong longing. "But what Brother Zhao said is also right. How can we not spend a lot of money to win over someone as talented as Shi Yu?! As long as everything goes smoothly, will all the beauties in the Jia family run away?! We really can't lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain!" "Hmph!" Miaoyu's dissatisfied snort rang in Baoyu's heart. The beauty silently gave him a big eye roll. The celestial beauty couldn't help but feel jealous that a beauty trap was about to be used on her beloved! She had great doubts about whether Baoyu could withstand the test!
The innocent Baoyu, caught in the crossfire, could only manage a bitter, aggrieved smile, too ashamed to argue his case. After all, he'd always been a poor performer!
Those two bastards deserved to die! How could they manage to trick him like this! The rogue, instead of being angry with his beloved, directed all his resentment at his two "open-minded" enemies.
Sun Shaozu and Xiong Shanjun chatted merrily, their wine flowing freely until they were thoroughly satisfied. As the saying goes, "when you're well-fed and warm, you think of lust," and wine is the matchmaker for lust. The two beasts gradually steered the conversation towards romance
and sensual pleasures, their hands, burning with desire, quickening their kneading of the naked woman's body, making the already lewd hall even more obscene. Miaoyu, realizing she wouldn't hear anything more, felt increasingly ashamed and angry at the increasingly unbearable sounds from under the roof. With a swift movement, the beautiful woman leaped to an old tree far from the hall.
Baoyu wasn't averse to the lewd scene below; in fact, he was quite interested in witnessing a thrilling live sex show. However, with the beautiful woman beside him, he dared not be so unrestrained. He could only sigh with reluctance before leaping after her.
The two hid in the shade of a tree, waiting for Xiong Shanjun to leave so they could track down the mastermind.
The thick tree easily concealed them, its branches swaying in the night breeze. Baoyu deliberately sat close to the woman, nestled among the branches. Though the celestial beauty was so close, her pure and ethereal aura kept even the lecherous man's heart calm, preventing him from harboring any impure thoughts.
Alas! Running the martial world is so tedious and boring! Waiting for his prey to appear without success, Baoyu's enthusiasm quickly faded. The woman, remaining aloof and giving him no chance to tease her, left the disappointed man feeling utterly bored and disinterested.
Just as Baoyu was about to fall from the tree for the first time due to drowsiness, a sudden surge of magical energy swept through, instantly dispelling the overwhelming drowsiness in his mind. The two, sharing a knowing smile, exchanged a knowing smile – their prey had finally appeared!
Mysterious magical energy, following Miaoyu's constantly shifting hand seals, seemed to merge into the void like countless threads, carefully sensing the subtle changes in space. The magical energy threads, like detectors, trembled slightly, finally locating the trajectory of Xiong Shanjun's vanishing form.
Having found the clue, the hunters took to the air without hesitation. The moment they left the tree, a magical power merged their perfect figures into the night, and they stealthily pursued him, following their mysterious senses.
Three invisible figures pierced the void, one in front and two behind. Xiong Shanjun, flying in the lead, leisurely headed towards the Imperial Preceptor's residence. Although he hadn't yet obtained the Five-Colored Divine Stone, he had made significant progress in dealing with the Jia family. Following the Whirlwind Demon Monk's plan, since they couldn't directly target Baoyu, they should inflict a catastrophe on the four great families. When the Jia family was on the verge of destruction, he, the Imperial Preceptor, would then step in and offer the "divine stone" as a bargaining chip. He believed the ignorant mortals would readily agree, happily handing over their treasure!
The Whirlwind Demon Monk's scheme was ingenious, but he hadn't anticipated that Jia Baoyu was actually a "fake" Baoyu, his true name reflecting his character—Jia, meaning counterfeit! How could he so easily allow evil to succeed?!
With the imperial palace in sight, the composed Xiong Shanjun subconsciously straightened his expression, and the black clouds beneath his feet suddenly accelerated.
"Huh! That's the Imperial Palace ahead!" Baoyu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes filled with a solemn expression. "It seems Zhou Bapi was right. This Xiongshan Jun really is from the Imperial Palace! Could it be those old Taoist practitioners from the Imperial Court's Hall causing trouble? Or does the Emperor also want to bring down the Four Great Families?!" Baoyu's mind raced, but he was even more confused! Although the Four Great Families were wealthy and powerful, with disciples all over the world, they did not control the military. Logically speaking, they should not be a threat to the Emperor's throne! How strange!
Miaoyu, who was focused on eliminating demons and monsters, ignored Baoyu's questions and kept her eyes fixed on the trajectory of the magical power ahead, not giving the monster any chance to escape!
Seeing their prey fly into the towering walls of the Imperial Palace without stopping, Miaoyu and Baoyu simultaneously increased their speed and chased after it. Just when the two were still a hundred meters away from the Imperial Palace, an invisible barrier blocked their flying figures.
The celestial beauty who had rushed ahead was slightly taken aback, both by the unexpected appearance of the barrier and by its overwhelming weakness! It couldn't stop those with magical powers, and even mortals could only barely move past it, having no effect whatsoever.
The situation was urgent. Although Miaoyu and Baoyu were surprised, they had no time to dwell on it, relentlessly pursuing Xiong Shanjun's figure.
Another unexpected turn of events occurred. Before the two could even fly over the wall, Xiong Shanjun, who had entered the palace, suddenly changed direction and fled out of the palace. The prey's unexpected behavior greatly surprised the hunters, but since it was too late, they could only suppress their doubts and cautiously follow.
"Miaoyu, something's not right!" Seeing the prey flying straight out of the capital, a sense of foreboding flashed through Baoyu's extraordinary consciousness. Countless thoughts flickered, but he couldn't find that one and only clue!
Reminded by Baoyu's words, the beauty's eagerness to exorcise the demon trembled slightly. Her intelligent mind pondered deeply and she couldn't help but wonder why Xiong Shanjun's behavior was indeed a bit strange. After entering and leaving the palace, his movements changed drastically, from unhurried to all-out.
"That's it! A perception barrier!" The beauty, lost in thought, couldn't help but exclaim. Miaoyu, intimately familiar with various supernatural abilities, finally remembered the strange barrier's function. Her rapidly flying body abruptly stopped, and she turned to the puzzled Baoyu, explaining, "It's a magical barrier without any lethal force, but it can clearly detect everything inside!" "A trap!" Baoyu's mind flashed, and he suddenly realized. This novice, experiencing such a real battle for the first time, could only look to the experienced Miaoyu, waiting for her to make the right decision.
Just as the two suddenly stopped, Xiong Shanjun, who had been flying at a slower speed for a moment, seeing that the two were no longer pursuing, finally dropped his pretense of escape. His burly body turned around, brazenly closing in.
"Not good!" Even a novice in the martial world like Baoyu sensed that the two of them had likely fallen into a trap. In a moment of panic, he grabbed the beauty's hand and leaped into the air, his figure flashing to the left as he fled. His words reached Miaoyu's ears only after he was off the ground: "Let's run! I wonder if we're still in time?" "Cowardly rats, you think you can escape now?! Ha, ha..." A wild laugh came from both sides, and two sharp auras, forming a triangle with Xiong Shanjun, rapidly approached, completely blocking their escape route.
With no way to escape, they had no choice but to fight to the death. The battle-hardened Miaoyu was fearless, only worried about whether her beloved, who had never undergone rigorous training, would be safe! Taking advantage of the enemy's final, overwhelming force, the beautiful Miaoyu quietly released the sleeping spirit bird, Cuiyu, from her arms. "Cuiyu, find Shiyin quickly and bring him here!" Watching Cuiyu dart out of the enemy's barrier like an arrow at the last moment, Miaoyu's exquisite face showed no joy. This was merely a desperate act born of dwindling hope. From the fluctuations of the demon's power, she sensed that its immense strength was beyond her ability to withstand. Even a single demon, besides Xiongshan Jun, could kill her, let alone two powerful old demons! By the time Zhen Shiyin arrived to help, they would likely be dead—no, their souls scattered. Knowing the habits of demons, Miaoyu refused to believe they would be merciful enough to spare their souls.
In contrast to Miaoyu's composure, Baoyu, like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers—ignorant and fearless—did not consider the impending deadly danger at all, but instead inwardly thrilled!
Though thoughts swirled a thousand times, reality was but a fleeting moment. The beauty, though fully aware of the demon's overwhelming power, showed no fear. Her clear Dao heart remained as calm as icy ice, and with a slight turn of her eyes, she had already found a way to defeat him.
"Baoyu, follow behind me!" Her icy words contained boundless sincerity, a warm current bringing comfort to the ignorant and fearless Baoyu.
Before the words had even finished, Miaoyu suddenly surged with magical power, a flash of killing intent crossing her eyes. Her graceful body, like a sharp sword, slashed through the void, heading straight for the weakest of the two, Xiong Shanjun.
The Whirlwind Demon Monk and the Black Feather King, initially approaching the situation with a leisurely, teasing attitude, were confident that these two thousand-year-old demons could easily defeat two mortal cultivators. However, their prey, far from trembling in fear, instead surged with a desperate, do-or-die killing intent, attempting to break through the encirclement.
The two demons felt ashamed and angry, and without any politeness, they roared and flew up. Two black beams shot out from their hands, carrying deadly demonic power like thunderbolts.
The enemy's cultivation level was beyond Miaoyu's estimation. Before she and Baoyu could get close to Xiongshan Jun, the two thunderbolts had already arrived. The celestial beauty helplessly turned in mid-air, and her jade sword returned to its original form. The sharp blade shone with precious light, and in an instant, it wove a perfect sword net in the void to block the enemy's powerful attack.
Chapter 45 Baoyu's Power (2) Xiongshan Jun was not weak. Seeing that the prey had chosen him as the target for the breakthrough, the bear demon was not surprised but happy. The time to make a contribution had come! He had successfully lured the two away from the imperial city by following the king's orders. If he could capture and kill the two of them by himself, it would be the icing on the cake!
"Ah!" With a loud roar, the bear demon launched a fierce attack, its massive hands transforming back into their original form as it channeled its magic. These enormous bear paws could not only split mountains and shake the earth, but were also impervious to blades and spears; no longer a delicacy for humans, they were deadly weapons capable of slaying souls.
Miaoyu gave a soft rebuke, chanting an incantation and casually casting a phantom spell to "perish together" with the two demons' ranged black attacks. Her ethereal
figure swiftly spun, meeting the bear demon's deadly paws head-on just as they were about to strike. A series of metallic clangs erupted as they engaged in a frenzied stalemate. Without further ado, the intense life-or-death battle commenced, leaving the novice Baoyu standing dumbfounded, unsure how to intervene in their fight.
Two demons of unfathomable power were rapidly approaching, their chance of escape hanging by a thread. To seize this chance, Miaoyu suddenly gathered all her magical power, her immense aura surging wildly. Her jade sword, imbued with deadly force, charged forward relentlessly, locking onto Xiong Shanjun's imposing figure, leaving him an opening to dodge. The resolute blade gleamed, revealing her unwavering resolve to perish with her enemy.
Baoyu, regaining his senses, couldn't help but gasp inwardly. Though inexperienced, he fully understood Miaoyu's intentions. She intended to use this ruthless, all-out attack to evade Xiong Shanjun's obstruction, risking her life for a chance to survive. In this desperate situation, it might be the best idea, but what if Xiong Shanjun, equally fearless of death, stood his ground? The outcome would be... Thinking this, Baoyu was terrified. His extraordinary intuition told him that Xiong Shanjun was not one to fear death! Before his thoughts could even shift, everything had already unfolded as Bao Yu had predicted!
"Roar!" Xiong Shan Jun was, after all, a demon of several hundred years, a veteran of countless battles! His experience was such that instead of retreating, he advanced, his figure miraculously accelerating once more. His sharp bear claws flashed with black light, and his face, blazing with sudden surges in demonic power, was even more ferocious and cruel—enough to terrify countless bear paw lovers!
A deafening roar shook the heavens as the two forces, neither yielding an inch, clashed in the void. This was a collision of power against power; there were no fancy moves, no luck, only strength that ultimately determined everything!
Sparks flew where the jade sword and the bear paw collided. Two beams of light, each a different color, vanished into countless starlight after the instantaneous impact, returning to the world, leaving only an immense recoil that assaulted the two locked in a life-or-death struggle!
The force of the attack had exhausted most of Miaoyu's magical power. The beauty, still recovering, could no longer withstand the intense shock. Her graceful body tumbled and flew like a leaf in a whirlwind. A pair of strong hands encircled her waist, and a broad chest stopped her rolling. Helpless, Miaoyu's lips stained with a faint trace of blood as she obediently sought refuge in Baoyu's safe haven!
Xiong Shanjun was in no better shape than Miaoyu. After a series of humiliating struggles, his burly demon body was also covered in dust and swaying precariously, barely managing to stop abruptly on the clouds!
"Baoyu, rush over there!" The beauty, her meridians in disarray, desperately tried to recover her magical power while urgently urging Baoyu to seize this opportunity to break through the encirclement. She knew that the bear demon opposite her was no better off than herself and was powerless to stop their escape.
Holding his beloved, Baoyu did not fly away. With a helpless expression, he said to his lover, "It's too late!" In the brief moment that Xiongshan Jun tried to stop them, the Whirlwind Demon Monk and the Black Feather King had already blocked their escape route from the air. Standing beside Xiongshan Jun, Whirlwind greatly praised his subordinate's bravery and fearlessness, "Well done!" Before he finished speaking, a powerful black mist enveloped the bear demon.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As the black mist dissipated, Xiongshan Jun, his injuries completely healed, prostrated himself on the cloud and respectfully kowtowed to the Whirlwind King in gratitude!
"Baoyu, I'll try to stall them. You find a chance to escape!" Pale-faced Miaoyu forcefully circulated her magic to suppress her internal injuries, her weak body twisting as she tried to struggle free from Baoyu's embrace.
The beauty's sincere care warmed Baoyu deeply. In this critical moment, his increasingly untamed nature finally erupted under the pressure of the enemy. His blood boiled with fervent fighting spirit. The enemy's terrifying strength only made his innate fighting spirit take over his mind. No longer was he fearless out of ignorance. At this moment, his eyes flashed with a fearless disdain for heaven and earth. He was a man of iron will who dared to fight against all power!
A strong, firm hand pulled the celestial beauty's delicate body, which was about to take flight. His resounding words, like invisible threads of affection, tightly bound her turbulent heart. "Rest for a while. Fighting is a man's job!" True love filled her heart, and simultaneously, a five-colored glow enveloped her injured body. The stunned celestial beauty was gently pulled behind her beloved, hiding behind his tall, imposing figure.
Bathed in the five-colored glow, Miaoyu suddenly realized that the person before her was the Lord of the Divine Stones—the most wondrous Lord of the Five-Colored Divine Stones in the Three Realms! All extraordinary phenomena were possible for him; he was practically the master of miracles! Even unexpectedly defeating two great demons was not impossible for him!
Filled with immense anticipation, the beauty, whose injuries had instantly healed, once again focused her attention on Xiong Shanjun, while leaving the two strongest demons to her beloved who would create miracles—"Miracle" Bao Erye!

Chapter 46 Baoyu Unleashes His Power (3) "You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, do you dare to reveal your Dharma name?!" The Whirlwind Demon Monk, who had lived for over a thousand years, was encountering a masked cultivator for the first time. In a state of anger and amusement, he couldn't help but use his time-honored trick—the provocation method. In his memory, all human cultivators cherished the reputation of their sect more than their own lives. Even these demons valued the reputation of their cave dwellings highly.
King Black Feather, who shared the same thought, also taunted in a sinister tone, "Could it be that you come from the Rat Clan?! It seems that the rat spirits of our demon realm are not as cowardly as you?! Ha, ha..." Lord Bear Mountain echoed with loud laughter, then pretended to be disdainful and said, "I think Your Majesty is overestimating them. How could the rats of the human world be as brave as the rat spirits of our demon realm?!" "Bold demons..." Miaoyu was indeed furious at the three demons for insulting her sect. Before she could finish her angry rebuke, the shrewd Baoyu suddenly interrupted her impulsive words.
"Ha, ha..." Baoyu's sudden laughter startled both sides. Before Miaoyu could utter her worried words, the carefree Second Master Bao chuckled and asked, "Then what kind of monsters are you two? You're not just some cat or dog in disguise, are you?! Why don't you bark a couple of times so I can guess if you're a cat or a dog!" "You little brat, you're asking for death!" Seeing his two kings being ridiculed, Xiongshan Jun fawned and preemptively rebuked his opponent, his once-impressive physique now eager to fight.
"What are you shouting about, you little bear demon? Your king hasn't even given the order, yet you dare to act on your own! Are you tired of being a little demon and want to try being a king?!" Baoyu was completely unconcerned about Xiongshan Jun's scolding, instead, he lightly smiled and deliberately provoked him. When it came to being a rogue and playing tricks, he, the "fake" Baoyu, was second to none, including any demon!
"Damn it! I..." Xiong Shanjun's violent nature flared up, but he immediately realized what he was saying and stopped abruptly. He then explained in a low voice to the Whirlwind Demon Monk with trepidation, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to this brat's nonsense. I didn't mean any disrespect!" "Hmm!" Although the Whirlwind Demon Monk understood that his opponent was trying to sow discord, his demonic nature made him genuinely dissatisfied with Xiong Shanjun's presumptuous actions. Fortunately, Xiong Shanjun "corrected" him in time, and the demon monk's anger turned to joy. He waved his hand and instructed Xiong Shanjun to retreat behind him.
"Brother Whirlwind, this human brat is so glib, no need to waste words with him. Just capture him and interrogate him slowly. Then he won't lie!" Black Feather's sinister gaze swept over the arrogant masked youth, his eyes sharp as swords. Seeing the youth's fearless and composed demeanor, he felt a surge of anger, secretly plotting how to torment him after capture to vent his frustration.
"Black Feather is right, this human brat is too cunning," Whirlwind the demon monk wasn't stupid either; otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped with his life from Wukong's staff. Suddenly realizing something, he exclaimed, "This brat is deliberately stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements. We've already revealed ourselves; we must kill him to silence him!" Before he finished speaking, the impatient Whirlwind, his frantically spinning figure truly resembling a whirlwind, hurtled towards Baoyu, unleashing his full magical power, determined to capture the enemy in one fell swoop!
"Wait!" Baoyu shouted, though his shout lacked earth-shattering power, it startled the three demons once more, leaving them wondering what else he had to say.
"Heh, heh...you omnipotent, wise, great, and handsome kings..." Baoyu's expression changed, his words becoming a jumbled mess of nonsense, "We just happened to be passing by and followed this bear out of curiosity. Could you please be merciful and let us go, as if we'd never met before, please?" "Heh, heh..." King Black Feather said with a cruel sneer, "Sure, as long as you cripple your magic, I'll let you go!" The cunning demon king subtly strengthened the barrier as he spoke, his opponent's cunning making him even more cautious, lest he be caught off guard and regret it too late!
"Ah!" After Black Feather successfully strengthened the sealing barrier, the demon monk roared, no longer able to contain his soaring killing intent, and charged towards Baoyu with overwhelming force.
Alas! It couldn't be delayed any longer! Having done his utmost, Baoyu sighed inwardly, but then his spirits lifted. The safety of his beloved surpassed even his own life. His usual laziness vanished, replaced by a wild aura that enveloped his entire being. Fearless, he met the Black Feather King, who had arrived faster than him.
The distance of over ten zhang vanished in an instant as their speed increased dramatically, and the two were upon each other in a flash. In close combat, Baoyu truly felt the depth of his opponent's power. He had intended to use his exquisite agility to evade the enemy's powerful attacks, but the opponent's magical seal left him no way to dodge. A head-on confrontation was the only option!
"Ah!" A wild roar fueled Baoyu's murderous intent. He was enraged by the demon's bullying of the weak. Since he couldn't escape, then let's fight! Who's afraid of who!
Under immense pressure, Bao Yu, new to the battlefield, showed no fear. His power surged uncontrollably, defying all logic. His feet, seemingly stepping on the air, miraculously increased his speed, unexpectedly advancing instead of retreating, tearing through the void and disappearing from his spot.
"Huh! This kid has some tricks up his sleeve!" Black Feather King was slightly startled, but remained unconcerned that his opponent would escape his claws, given the vast difference in their magical power.
The savage avian demon, eyes half-closed, finally saw Bao Yu, who had stealthily advanced, appear above his left. A swift kick, like a thunderbolt, was aimed at his neck. The demon, now confident, sneered, thinking disdainfully, "Such petty tricks dare to be used on me, Black Feather King? He's courting death!"
"Ah!" As expected, Bao Yu suddenly appeared above Black Feather King's left side. No longer maintaining his invisibility, he unleashed a powerful kick aimed at his opponent's neck, his glowing toe piercing the demon's protective shield. Black Feather King
remained motionless, his seemingly slow upward punch striking Bao Yu's incredibly swift foot.
The two forces collided without the expected deafening roar. Black Feather King's counterattack was effortless; his illusory opponent disintegrated into countless starlight and scattered in the wind under his powerful demonic energy.
"Die!" The real Bao Yu, unable to contain his joy, appeared behind Black Feather King, his voice brimming with excitement. The illusion he had created was a brilliant, impromptu move. Now in his true form, he punched his opponent hard in the back, his entire body's magical power surging forth like a raging tide, all flowing into the demon's body.
The demonic protective shield offered only a slight resistance, then abruptly dissipated under the sudden attack. Its majestic demonic form couldn't withstand such a massive impact, swelling rapidly before finally shattering into countless fragments with a resounding "bang!"
"Ah!" The scream didn't come from the "dead" demon, but rather from Bao Yu's instinctive, utter astonishment. He knew he was finished; the real prey was himself!
"Boy, what else can you do?" A mocking voice came from behind Bao Yu. The scene from before was repeating itself, but the roles were reversed, and Bao Yu's form was no longer an illusion, but a real, flesh-and-blood body.
The Black Feather King, who had also deceived his opponent with an illusion, spoke smugly, but his deadly attack didn't hesitate, unleashing a fist far more powerful than Bao Yu's.
"Boom!" A deep, muffled sound echoed in the space where everyone was. A terrible spray of blood mist spurted from Bao Yu's mouth. The irresistible, fatal impact made his heavily injured body tumble like a fallen autumn leaf in a storm. The surging hot blood drew bright red and tragic trails in the void!
"No!" Miao Yu's heart-wrenching cry was touching and brought tears to people's eyes. Unfortunately, the three demons were demons, not humans. Naturally, they would not be moved and stop. On the contrary, their hearts were even blacker and their hands even more ruthless.
The celestial beauty's soaring figure crashed into an invisible wall of magical power. The Whirlwind Demon Monk didn't rush to attack, but cruelly and deliberately stood between the lovers. "Heh, heh...want to die together as a pair of lovebirds? Dream on!" "Ah!" With her lover's life hanging by a thread, the celestial beauty could no longer maintain her composure. Her ethereal fairy energy transformed into a frenzied aura, and she desperately lunged at the Whirlwind Demon Monk, disregarding life and death. At this moment, the beauty only wanted to reach her lover's side as quickly as possible; even if she couldn't save him, she wanted to be with him in life and death!
The demonic nature of the Whirlwind Demon Monk greatly pleased him; tormenting his opponent was the ultimate pleasure for a demon! The inhuman demon easily dealt with the reckless attacks of the tiny human. The real difference in their cultivation levels couldn't be bridged by a momentary outburst of bloodlust. No matter how Miaoyu attacked, she couldn't move her opponent's tall, evil figure.
Everything changed in an instant; at this moment, Baoyu had just been sent flying into the void.
A pair of powerful hands suddenly grabbed Bao Yu's rolling body. A surge of joy welled up within him, and he struggled to open his already blurry eyes to see who his "savior" was.
"Gah, gah..." A sharp, wicked laugh plunged Bao Yu from the peak of hope into the abyss of despair. As if understanding his opponent's subtle emotions, Xiong Shan Jun sneered, "It's your old man Xiong, disappointed, aren't you! Ha, ha..." "Go back!" Before the laughter subsided, a delicious bear paw tossed his opponent forward, then delivered a vicious kick to Bao Yu's chest. With a clear cracking sound, Bao Yu was once again kicked like a ball back to where the Black Feather King stood.
"Fun! Fun!" The King of the Beast Demons' bloodthirsty smile was enough to freeze a spring breeze, and without hesitation, he kicked Bao Yu back towards Xiong Shan Jun.
The toy flew towards him again, and the evil bear demon's mind shifted. This time, instead of kicking, he reverted to his original bear paw form with one hand, his unchanging left hand reaching out to grab Baoyu again and lift him high, preparing for a "bear paw auction"!
The delirious, severely injured, and dying Baoyu, his innate pride preventing him from accepting such humiliation, felt a silent cry resonate within him: "Stand up! You are invincible! How can you be so pathetic?!" His consciousness finally began to return amidst the mental upheaval. Although still powerless to retaliate, Baoyu used his manly dignity to throw a light punch with all his might.
"Smack!" The overconfident bear demon was struck. While the punch didn't cause serious injury, it bruised his eye. The clumsy black bear was now pretending to be an adorable panda!
"Ah!" A furious roar unleashed boundless rage. Bear Mountain Lord, sporting panda eyes, hadn't expected his seemingly lifeless opponent to launch a sneak attack. The mocking laughter of Black Feather King across from him pierced his "great" pride as a demon—a dignified demon had been beaten black-eyed by a dying human!
"Die!" The deeply wounded bear demon's eyes were bloodshot. His previously horizontal paw rose, unleashing a powerful, deadly strike, the sharp energy whistling and hissing through the air. Unable to resist, Bao Yu closed his eyes, his mind strangely calm, devoid of fear or sorrow, as if peacefully awaiting a sweet dream. A
sudden, whimsical thought crossed Bao Yu's tranquil mind: what if, after his "death," he suddenly found himself back in the future, still that carefree young man wandering in search of true love?
The deafening roar shocked both humans and demons present. Seeing her beloved suffer such a fatal blow, Miaoyu's heart shattered instantly. Her sword paused, and she completely forgot about the formidable enemy before her, staring blankly at Baoyu's lifeless body plummeting downwards! The Whirlwind
Demon Monk didn't seize the opportunity to kill his opponent. He and the Black Feather King glared in unison at the presumptuous bear demon. They still intended to capture him alive, not kill him immediately.
A thought shifted, and the Whirlwind Demon Monk's attention returned to Miaoyu. This only survivor absolutely could not afford any more mishaps! How could he not be restless if he didn't find out what had happened?
"Little lady, you have a nice figure. If you submit to me, I'll guarantee your life!" With the outcome decided, the whirlwind demon monk couldn't help but lewdly tease her. In his mind, humans were all cowards who clung to life. He didn't truly want to subdue his opponent, but rather to use the opportunity to extract information, then enjoy her before erasing her from the world!
Miaoyu was completely unmoved by the demon's teasing. Her duty to exterminate demons and monsters extinguished the suicidal thoughts that had just sprouted in her heart. Her shattered heart instantly reformed, and her almost frenzied fighting spirit extinguished her ethereal beauty. Her cold, iron-like heart was filled with a death-defying resolve! Even in death, she would die without hesitation. The disciples of the Great Wilderness Mountain were not cowardly suicides.
Her jade sword, brimming with murderous intent, once again pointed diagonally at the heavens. Under the impact of great sorrow and hatred, the beauty's potential erupted once more. A sudden "enlightenment" in her mind caused her magical power to surge dramatically, and the thin mist beneath her feet faintly revealed traces of white clouds!
Although still no match for the three demons, the beauty, now determined to perish together with them, was filled with renewed confidence. Even if she couldn't exchange her life for theirs, she would at least severely weaken them. Then, her sect elders, guided by the spirit bird, would vanquish the demons and rid the world of this scourge!
"Can you still resist?!" King Black Feather coldly reminded his opponent of the unchangeable reality, his voice laced with smugness and arrogance. "With the combined efforts of this king and Brother Whirlwind, no one in this mortal realm can save your life. You'd better surrender obediently! Otherwise, this king will cast your soul into the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, letting you taste the endless torment of eternal suffering!" "Bold woman, why don't you surrender? The two kings are incredibly powerful. Don't even think about saving you, a mere mortal cultivator! Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Heavenly Realm wouldn't be able to save you!" Lord Bear Mountain, having done something wrong again, hurriedly boasted about his master, trying to appease him and make up for his impulsive mistake!
"Is that so?!" A disdainful voice suddenly appeared, and an extremely powerful aura instantly enveloped the space where the three demons and the three demons stood.
A primal sense of fear jolted the three demons awake from their self-delusion of invincibility, making them acutely aware of their ant-like insignificance and powerlessness. Their faces filled with panic, the three demons simultaneously looked up, their eyes instantly filled with boundless astonishment. What they saw was Miaoyu's joyful tears and her equally wide-open, astonished eyes!
Not to mention according to common sense, even according to the laws of nature, geography, and humanity—regardless of the logic—the one thing was certain: Baoyu, who should have been dead, was alive and well above the three demons and the one person.
The face was still the same face, the person was still the same person, but in the eyes of the three demons, the previously insignificant and powerless human had now become incredibly enormous, suddenly filling their entire world! Looking down at their masked enemy, their bodies radiating an aura of domineering power, the savage, world-destroying energy crashing against their trembling hearts like a raging storm, a sense of overwhelming powerlessness leaving the thousand-year-old demon utterly dejected!
So this is how it turns out, after all their cultivation, they were still nothing more than a lowly soldier.
In Miaoyu's eyes, Baoyu was equally towering, but she felt no fear whatsoever. Her earlier, vague expectation had actually come true; her beloved indeed arrived in a magnificent, magical battle robe, riding on five-colored clouds, rescuing her from the clutches of the demon! Heh, heh… Actually, it was true that Baoyu rode on five-colored clouds, but his "magical battle robe" was utterly devoid of any imposing presence. Not only was it tattered from repeated kicks and punches, but the most comical thing was the several large whip marks, the mud stains still swaggering about.
Who says beauty is only in the eye of the beholder? At this moment, Miaoyu saw Baoyu as a complete hero. A hero is, of course, perfect, even the shoe print on his body was perfect!
Chapter 47 Baoyu Unleashes His Power (4) Baoyu, standing in mid-air, has black hair that moves without wind. His overwhelming aura has transformed him into an invincible war god. An unprecedented solemnity appears on his tense face. His captivating gaze is as cold and ruthless as ten thousand years of ice, making the hearts of the three demons sink deeper and deeper! Only when he touches the celestial beauty does a trace of barely perceptible tenderness flash in Baoyu's eyes.
"Ah!" An endless surge of power coursed through him. Bao Yu, unable to suppress his surging fighting spirit, exuded a leisurely air of disdain. Pointing at the three uneasy demons, he said, "Attack all at once! Don't waste my time!" Before his words even finished, he waved and pulled at a distant cloud. Under the bewildered gazes of the three demons, the white cloud flew into Bao Yu's hand like lightning. Gently stroking the condensed cloud in his hand, the strangely transformed Bao Yu uttered inexplicable words, "I haven't found my precious staff yet, so I'll use you as a substitute for now!" "Your Majesty, has this guy been driven mad by me?!" Xiong Shan Jun was also greatly alarmed, but the guy, who was extremely confident in his bear paws, was still resentful. He hadn't expected that not only had he failed to kill his opponent, but he had also created an extremely terrifying enemy!
The tremor in the Whirlwind Demon Monk's heart suddenly transformed into intense rage. He was about to fiercely rebuke his ignorant subordinates, but before his venomous words could utter, Bao Yu dispelled everyone's doubts.
With a slow pull of his large hand, the answer was revealed. The condensed cloud, guided by Bao Yu's fingers, quietly unfolded, and to the astonishment of the three demons
and the one human, a staff formed from white clouds took shape. For some unknown reason, Bao Yu had even deliberately "created" some strange patterns at both ends. "How...how...how can this be so familiar?!" While the others were utterly astonished, the Whirlwind Demon Monk, staring at the weapon in the human boy's hand, felt an overwhelming fear. His previously composed face turned deathly pale, and his mind involuntarily drifted into his deepest nightmare.
"Brother Whirlwind, take a hostage!" The cunning Black Feather King, quick-witted, devised the best way to deal with the enemy.
The King of Bird Demons' deep voice, enveloped in magical power, resounded in Whirlwind's heart. Whirlwind, lost in endless thoughts searching for the source of his nightmare, was interrupted. His mind, previously foggy, snapped back to reality. Faced with a formidable enemy, he had no choice but to suppress his fear, nodding slightly in deep agreement and simultaneously giving Xiong Shanjun a signal to attack!
Black light, representing demonic power, burst forth, and the three demons launched their attack almost simultaneously. Their frantic roars, though fierce, only revealed their inner weakness; they merely used shouts to forget their fear!
The experienced Miaoyu, with a slight thought, understood her opponents' intentions. However, understanding was one thing, but the difference in their cultivation levels rendered her powerless. She could only futilely spin her jade sword rapidly before her, hoping the dense sword net could hold them off for a moment so her beloved could arrive in time!
The celestial beauty's sword net was indeed sharp, but it had no effect whatsoever! A long, massive hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sweeping through the air with unstoppable force, as if entering an empty field. Before the beauty
could even scream, the long hand grabbed her around the waist and lifted her high into the air, disappearing like a thunderbolt with a whooshing sound before the three demons' eyes! "Ah!" Miaoyu's exclamation finally escaped her lips. It turned out that Baoyu's long hand had extended to rescue her to his side.
"Stay in this circle, don't go out!" His calm words carried a hint of tenderness. Baoyu's hand, now back to normal, swept across the air, and a circle of five-colored light appeared beneath Miaoyu's feet.
"Hmm!" The feeling of solid ground surprised Miaoyu even more. "Drawing a circle on the ground as a prison"—that was a legendary supernatural power, possessed by few even in the celestial realm! Her mind reeling from the series of shocks, the beauty lost the ability to think, only accepting her lover's care with a blissful expression, like an ordinary woman!
The three demons, who had missed their target, were slightly startled, then suddenly realized what had happened. Black Feather King hardened his heart, desperately trying to regain his fighting spirit. Having reached this point through countless battles, the King of Bird Demons wouldn't allow himself to feel fear. He spoke seductively to the other two demons, "This kid must be a reincarnation of a celestial being to have such a transformation. If we eat him while his cultivation is still unstable, our power will surely increase greatly, and we might even achieve immortality like Tang Sanzang hundreds of years ago!" "Good! Eat him, and we'll live forever!" The tyrannical Bear Mountain Lord was the first to be ignited with boiling fighting spirit. His bear paws turned black and shiny, shimmering with light!
"Bring out your magic weapon!" Little Whirlwind remembered he still had a protective magic weapon, and his heart calmed down. Before his companions could respond, he silently recited an incantation and quietly took out his treasured Immortal Binding Rope. This was a treasure left behind by his king after he was killed by Sun Wukong eight hundred years ago. With this immortal magic weapon, he was able to rise from an unknown little demon to a powerful ruler in the demon realm!
The three demons, working together, simultaneously pounced on Baoyu, their "delicacy" of immortality. Xiongshan Jun raised his bear paw high, Xiaoxuanfeng threw his magic weapon into the air, and the Black Feather King's treasure was the most peculiar—his bird beak, which had returned to its original form. The indestructible beak, like Baoyu's large hand from before, rapidly lengthened, striking Baoyu like an arrow that arrived before him.
"You're courting death!" This time, it was Baoyu's turn to leisurely disregard the three demons. His imposing figure remained motionless, and he slowly raised his Cloud Mist Staff. When the staff pointed directly at the void, the playful expression on Baoyu's face vanished, and a wild aura instantly soared into the sky. Two beams of golden light, seemingly tangible, suddenly shot out from his eyes, directly enveloping the three demons' frantically charging figures.
"Take this from your grandpa Sun!" Bao Yu, towering high above, swooped down, a strange thought driving him to shout words he himself didn't understand. With that roar, the brilliant and boundless life of the new "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" began!
"My God!" Little Whirlwind cried out inwardly. Bao Yu's roar was like a merciless blade piercing his eternal, indelible wounds. The familiar golden light and the shout at the moment of attack shattered his heart and soul. A super-fierce star, capable of changing the very fabric of heaven and earth, striking fear into the hearts of immortals, Buddhas, demons, and ghosts, swept through Little Whirlwind's mind with unparalleled power!
Could it be Sun Wukong?! How could it be Sun Wukong?! Little Whirlwind's leaping figure couldn't stop the powerful momentum of a desperate battle, his fear turning into beads of cold sweat that soaked his clothes!
Forget it, kill! With no chance of escape, Little Whirlwind saw that Black Feather and the Bear Demon had already rushed in front of their opponents. His magical weapon immediately flew out of his hand, flashing with colorful light in the void. Then, like a dragon emerging from the sea, it meandered through the air and coiled around Bao Yu's figure.
The indestructible bird beak struck Bao Yu's protective magic shield in an instant before the Immortal Binding Rope. The bear paw only slowed down for a moment. The three demons worked together to kill their enemy in one fell swoop. Although their attack was ruthless, they were not very confident. They could only secretly pray that the saying "together we can break gold" could really come true!
Under the golden light, the three demons' figures looked as clumsy as snails in Bao Yu's eyes. He impatiently tapped out the Cloud Mist Staff he held high in the void, leisurely dancing out three simple and unadorned staff shadows to meet the three demon "divine weapons".
"Boom!" A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth. The battle between humans and demons was not as intense and exciting as expected. The overwhelming advantage of the two sides caused them to separate in an instant, and even the tragic atmosphere did not have time to spread across the battlefield before it was over.
"Ah!" A scream came from the bear demon and the Black Feather King's writhing figures. The two demons felt that their magic weapons, which they were so proud of, were as fragile as children's toys, completely vulnerable under the sweeping blow of their opponent! The Black Feather King's bird beak was broken off by the irresistible force, and his lips, which had returned to human shape, looked ridiculously like two sausages. Even worse, the bear demon's paw suffered the most severe blow of its life the moment it made contact!
"Aow..." Under endless pain, the bear demon was forced back to its original form. The clumsy black bear rolled in mid-air, blood gushing from its broken wrist. The bear paw that had been so ferocious earlier had been knocked away by Bao Yu's staff, and the bear paw could only helplessly detach from its wrist and fly into the mortal world! Who knows who will be lucky enough to find this heavenly delicacy and thank the heavens for a feast!
Compared to the great physical damage suffered by the two demons, the unharmed Whirlwind Demon Monk was more heartbroken and full of regret! The flying Immortal Binding Rope lived up to its name, binding Bao Yu tightly in one fell swoop. Before the little whirlwind's joy could even rise to his face, the subsequent change left him dumbfounded, as if he were in a dream and could not believe it.
"Ah!" Despite his bound hands and feet, Baoyu remained calm and composed. With a wild roar, his tall figure suddenly stretched out, and a dazzling five-colored radiance burst forth from his body. Under the impact of the boundless magical power, the Immortal Binding Ropes, unable to withstand the force, cracked inch by inch. The magical treasure, imbued with immortal power, had become quite spiritual over thousands of years. The broken knots seemed to fly outwards like countless birds, attempting to reunite and restore the original nature of the divine weapon of the immortal realm!
"Stay here!" Baoyu sighed leisurely, and with a light wave of his hand, he unleashed a shower of ribbon-like radiance that bound all the broken Immortal Ropes back together, leaving none unbound.
Gazing at the dozens of broken ropes thrashing about in the rosy light, Bao Yu's face lit up with delight, and he instantly felt a desire to subdue them. His powerful magic surged with his will; the power of the Five-Colored Divine Stone, the most wondrous artifact in the world, was indeed miraculous. The demonic power that countless demons had spent millions of years imprinting on the Immortal-Binding Rope was wiped away with a single stroke. The rope's soft luster, suppressed for so long, finally reappeared!
"So this is what you look like! Much better looking than before!" Bao Yu stroked the silvery-white Immortal-Binding Rope in his hand—no, it should now be called the Demon-Binding Rope—and sighed with admiration, his eyes filled with even stronger delight.
"Trying to escape? Stay and play with your Grandpa Sun a little longer!" Although the anomaly was complex, it was only a fleeting moment. Just as Bao Yu placed the dozens of pieces of the Immortal-Binding Rope into his robes, the three demons barely managed to regain their footing. He had been watching their minds closely and saw the black clouds beneath their feet churning violently, clearly indicating their intention to escape!
Having suffered so much humiliation earlier, the mighty Master Bao was now overflowing with domineering power. How could he not seek revenge for the insults?
With a serene expression, he slowly strode forward, his feet seemingly walking on air as if in a leisurely stroll. With a single grab, a powerful suction force, capable of swallowing the heavens and destroying the earth, pounced towards the three demons like a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open
. The three demons, being cunning and resourceful, fled in opposite directions. Xiong Shanjun, of course, followed his master without hesitation, even forgetting the excruciating pain of his severed hand in his haste to escape.
"Ah!" The incredibly powerful hurricane rushed closer, and the three demons slowed down simultaneously. Seeing that they were about to be pushed back instead of forward, the almost annihilated Little Whirlwind, amidst a scream, spotted the bear demon beside him. The evil demon immediately devised a plan and, without hesitation, suddenly kicked the black bear's massive body.
"Ah!" How could the loyal Xiong Shan Jun have expected his master to betray him like this? Caught off guard, he was kicked into the storm. The terrified Little Whirlwind used the force of the kick, combined with the immense suction that was slightly delayed due to the black bear's "self-inflicted trap," and with the combined effect of the two, the Whirlwind Demon Monk finally managed to escape the edge of the hurricane!
On the other side, the Black Feather King's cultivation was no less than Little Whirlwind's, but he had no subordinates to betray him. Even though he struggled with all his might, he could not escape the fate of being sucked into the storm!
"Ah!" The two demons suffered from the tearing and torment of the wind blades in the wildly spinning storm. The hurricane formed from their magic power peeled away the protective shields of the two demons layer by layer, and even their painstakingly cultivated magical bodies began to sway precariously. Amidst their painful cries, their true demonic forms were faintly revealed!
Just as the bird and bear were on the verge of death, the "merciful" Bao Yu suddenly withdrew his magic. The wind stopped and the shadows vanished, leaving only the two demons clinging to life on the clouds!
"Heh, heh..." Bao Yu chuckled as he squatted in front of Bear Mountain Lord and Black Feather King, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "You had a good time playing with me earlier, didn't you? Now let's play again!" Before he finished speaking, Bao Yu lifted the two demons up, one in each hand, and in their panic, he pressed down from the clouds and landed back on the deserted ground in the dead of night.
"Hmm! This is a good place! Do you like it?" Bao Yu's smile was bright, but what the two demons saw was evil and terrifying. Not knowing what terrible punishment they were about to suffer, they couldn't help but secretly conclude that this guy was definitely the real demon, and they were actually good demons!
"Boom, boom..." The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground continued incessantly. At first, it was accompanied by shrill screams, but after a while, the screams weakened and eventually disappeared, while the terrifying rumbling impacts still pierced the clouds and shook the earth.
On the dust-swirling open space, jagged craters marked the landscape, a scene of utter devastation!
A handsome young man, a broad smile on his face, was frantically smashing large objects into the ground with each hand. Curious, the wind pierced through the swirling dust to take a closer look, and was utterly astonished. The "objects" in the maniac's hands were actually two ravaged animals—a bear and a bird! The invisible wind, utterly bewildered, exclaimed in shock, "What a cruel fellow! What pitiful animals!"
"Huh! No sound, that's not fun!" Baoyu's waving hand suddenly stopped, and he held the two demons upside down, teasingly saying, "Not satisfied? Is this still too itchy?!" This physical assault, though painful for the two demons, didn't immediately threaten their lives. Weakened by the torture, their feeble eyes brightened with fear upon hearing the "demon's" words, their vivid expressions fully conveying their pleading, "Great Immortal, spare our lives! We'll definitely reform and behave properly from now on!" "Is that so?" A cute expression appeared on Baoyu's handsome face, but a fleeting hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. "Since you're so sincere in repenting, Great Immortal will definitely give you a chance." "We'll definitely change, we'll definitely change..." The two demons pleaded desperately for their lives, practically swearing an oath to the heavens. "These little demons will sincerely turn to Buddhism to repay the Great Immortal's kindness in saving our lives!" "Don't worry! The Great Immortal is the most trustworthy of all, he would never go back on his word! As the saying goes, 'A man who breaks his promise is worthless,' right?" Bao Yu's solemn words instantly filled the two demons with joy. They knew that righteous people always valued "reputation" above all else, and subconsciously believed the words of this righteous young man before them. Overjoyed, they secretly thought to themselves, "So this guy, despite his boundless magical power, is just a fool. He'll believe my nonsense!"
Thinking this, the two demons' fear vanished. They made up their minds: once they escaped, they would avenge this tenfold. They couldn't defeat this fool by force, but they could outsmart him! With a little thought, they were sure they could catch him off guard!
"Heh, heh..." A sinister laugh shattered the bear and bird demons' sweet dreams. Bao Yu's gloomy expression forced them to confront the harsh reality once more. "You're quite pleased with yourselves, aren't you? Probably plotting how to deal with me later, aren't you?" "No, no..." The two demons shook their heads violently, their faces streaked with cold sweat through the thick dust, revealing their utter disarray! Could this kid read minds?! This is it!
"The Great Immortal always keeps his word!" Bao Yu changed the subject, solemnly guaranteeing the "Great Immortal's" character. Before the two demons, whose mood had eased slightly, could even show their joy, he immediately turned cold and quickly mocked, "Unfortunately, your grandpa is not a Great Immortal, just a standard scoundrel!" After a slight pause, Bao Yu, who had picked up the two hateful demons again, stretched out his figure, smiled and looked up at the dark void, "Shall we play a little longer, and then I'll send you home?" Swish! Even the thick dust could not hide the paleness on the two demons' faces. At this point, they finally realized that they had met their nemesis! The "demon's" home was not a warm cave, but the most ruthless joke of mankind - go back to your hometown to see the King of Hell!
Chapter 48 Bao Yu Unleashes His Power (5) Thinking of the countless sins in their lives, the two demons' blood-stained hands trembled slightly. After they died, they would inevitably be unable to escape the endless torment of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory. How tragic! The worst part is that they will temporarily lose their magical powers upon becoming new ghosts, thus being permanently imprisoned by the underworld, without even the ability to resist or escape!
The powerful energy swirled, and a fierce wind arose out of nowhere. The two demons, powerless against the extreme speed of Baoyu's spinning hands, felt the world turn dark and turbulent, their internal organs seemingly rushing towards their throats. The increasingly intense pain made them want to simply faint and never wake up again!
"Baoyu, where are you?!" Miaoyu's anxious words echoed in Baoyu's heart. Having waited so long for her beloved to return, the celestial beauty, her heart filled with longing, panicked, fearing another accident! Although Baoyu now possessed boundless magical power, his concern clouded his judgment, causing the beauty to overthink. The more she thought, the more she became trapped in a rut. Then, disregarding everything, she rushed out of the magical circle Baoyu had drawn and flew towards the billowing dust!
"Alas!" Baoyu sighed with great regret. "Consider yourselves lucky. I didn't want my precious Miaoyu to witness such a bloody moment!" Before he finished speaking, the two demons were terrified. Their bodies, which had been lying on the ground on the verge of death, suddenly unleashed their potential and leaped forward frantically! Who says only humans have unlimited potential? It seems that animals have pretty good potential too!
"Take another blow!" Baoyu roared with boundless pride. The cloud-mist staff in his hand rapidly transformed, instantly extending to the heads of the two demons. He delivered a merciless, fatal blow, and after two screams of agony, only two shattered corpses remained on the ground. As the cloud-mist staff transformed back into a cloud and floated into the void, the two demon corpses also reverted to their original forms as a bear and a bird!
"Alas! I shouldn't have used so much force!" Baoyu lamented his lack of restraint, his expression regretful. "The meat is all smashed, otherwise we could have made a bear paw feast and roasted game tonight! Heh, heh..." A subtle swirling of air entered Baoyu's consciousness. Knowing that the beauty was about to arrive, the guy calmly flicked his toe and kicked the two demon corpses into the large pit he had just created. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, the churning earth buried the two demons deep underground, turning their bodies into dust to fertilize the earth, a final repentance for their sinful lives!
"I was so anxious! Why didn't you come back for so long?!" Miaoyu complained before she even landed. Before the strangely looking Baoyu could respond, the beauty, completely out of character, threw herself into his arms like a swallow throwing itself into his embrace, her urgent tears silently flowing, no longer showing any trace of the coldness that one could only admire from afar!
Having survived life and death, the boundless love had become everything to this beautiful woman. At this moment, she had abandoned the aloofness and eccentricity she had cultivated since childhood, and her long-suppressed passion suddenly erupted, burning away even her deep-rooted desire to cultivate immortality! Overwhelmed by emotions, she only wanted to nestle in her lover's arms and enjoy the devoted love of an ordinary woman!
"Where are the two demons?" Miaoyu gazed at the desolate, almost terrifying land beneath her feet. A look of understanding flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a coquettish tone, "You've already killed the two demons?! But you haven't even asked for their confessions yet! You're so impatient!" "Heh, heh..." Baoyu suppressed the inexplicable turmoil in his mind and gave an embarrassed smile. "I forgot in a moment of haste! How about we go to the underworld another day..." He stopped abruptly, his expression darkening. He murmured involuntarily, "So sleepy! I'm going to sleep for a while, don't disturb me!" Before he finished speaking, his tall figure had already slumped softly into the arms of the beauty. "Baoyu, Baoyu, what's wrong?" Miaoyu's beautiful eyes were filled with fear, her pale face filled with anxiety. She called out to her beloved as soon as he collapsed, but Baoyu was already breathing heavily and showed no sign of waking up!
"Baoyu, wake up! Don't scare me!" Miaoyu tried her best but couldn't wake her sleeping sweetheart. Although Baoyu looked serene and peaceful, the beauty couldn't put her heart at ease at his strange change. Concerned and confused, the celestial beauty used her magic to try and find out what was going on! Before
the light of her spirit could emerge from between Miaoyu's eyebrows, Baoyu's chest vibrated quietly, as if an invisible hand had gently opened his clothes. The "Spiritual Jade" hanging close to his body rose into the air and miraculously stopped in front of the beauty.
"Do not disturb his slumber!" A gentle, ethereal voice, like a spring breeze, caressed Miaoyu's heart, dispelling the anxiety and restlessness churning within her. Brilliant five-colored rays of light burst forth from the divine stone, a warm aura subtly flowing within this mystical glow, instantly enveloping the space around Miaoyu. Sincere kindness seeped into her heart, causing her to subconsciously obey the instructions of these mysterious words.
Within the illusory realm, Guanyin, seated on her lotus throne, used her supreme divine power to infuse a wisp of divine thought into the five-colored divine stone. The situation was critical; she could no longer stand idly by. The reincarnated Wukong's fate had exceeded her expectations. The bear demon's fatal blow seemed like destiny, granting Baoyu the power of his past life prematurely. Although Baoyu's boundless magic easily turned the tide of battle, the ensuing instability of his temperament worried the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms, fearing that Wukong might lose control and fall into the realm of demons!
Some time ago, Baoyu's magical power increased greatly due to his repeated unions with several beauties, and his inner demons had already begun to stir. How could this sudden increase in magical power be compared to the last time? It was like the difference between a small stream and a mighty river! The resulting distracting thoughts were naturally chaotic and complex, which is why the scene of Baoyu cruelly killing the two demons appeared!
Once Miaoyu calmed down, Guanyin within the illusion sighed silently with hidden worry, "Baoyu's mind is greatly depleted right now. Although it has unleashed boundless potential, it is a mixed blessing for him. You should understand the reason behind this!" Miaoyu pondered for a moment and understood the mystery. Her eyes gleamed with anticipation as she gazed at the "speaking" jade, asking, "Is there any good way? Such powerful magic is probably beyond what the previous methods could achieve!" Guanyin's appreciative eyelids closed slightly as she carefully examined Miaoyu in the Xuan Guang Mirror. Seeing her profound affinity for immortality and her exceptional intelligence, she grew increasingly fond of her. With a thought, a bolt of five-colored light, as swift as lightning, struck Miaoyu's body. Caught off guard
, Miaoyu was struck before she could react. Her beautiful body trembled violently from the "sudden attack," only returning to calm after a moment.
"Thank you for your grace, Immortal! Miaoyu, a disciple of the Great Wilderness Mountain, is eternally grateful!" The beautiful woman, though initially shocked, was instead filled with excitement. Instead of anger, she was delighted and solemnly bowed. However, the object of her gratitude was a radiant, magical stone, adding a touch of playfulness to the otherwise solemn scene! It turned out that with a wave of Guanyin's jade hand, Miaoyu's magical power had undergone another qualitative change, breaking through from the initial stage of the Cloud Ascension realm to the highest level, showing signs of transcending the mortal-immortal divide!
"No need for formalities! I'm doing this for Baoyu's sake!" Guanyin smiled serenely, her holy gaze turning to the fast-sleeping reincarnated Wukong. "To prevent him from being consumed by inner demons and losing his true nature, I have to temporarily seal half of his magical power. Now I will teach you the incantation to lift the seal. Do not lift the incantation unless absolutely necessary! Remember, remember!" The melodious voice that captivated the soul paused slightly, and Guanyin then gently comforted the anxious Miaoyu, saying, "When Baoyu's mind and nature gradually stabilize, the incantation will naturally become ineffective. You don't need to worry too much! Also, do not mention anything about me to anyone!" While the two peerless fairies were worrying about Baoyu, he himself was happily fast asleep, without a trace of worry. Exhausted from the extreme changes in his mind, Baoyu could not resist the invincible sleep demon and fell into a deep sleep. However, the churning of his consciousness within his peaceful body never ceased!
The three souls of a person are called the Life Soul, the Awareness Soul, and the Spirit Soul! The Life Soul is the condensation of Yang energy and the source of life force; once the Life Soul is gone, the body will perish. The Awareness Soul is the master of consciousness; every thought, word, and deed originates from it. Once the Awareness Soul dissipates, one can only become a walking corpse. The Spirit Soul is absolutely the most mysterious of the three souls. Those who cultivate Taoism call it the Primordial Spirit. Even if the body perishes, the spirit soul will not perish and can enter the underworld to live another illusory life. This is what people call a "ghost"!
At this moment, Baoyu's Life Soul is suppressed, his Awareness Soul is restrained, and only his Spirit Soul is struggling to survive! Unbeknownst to him, Guanyin has already sealed half of his magical power. Although the supernatural powers and methods his Spirit Soul possesses are still there, they no longer have the support of immense magical power. After some dissatisfaction and protest, he can only sigh sadly and helplessly accept reality!
Within the mystical space of the mind, enchanting five-colored rays of light swirled and danced; pure energy rose gracefully, while turbid energy slowly descended. The pure energy transformed into the sky, and the turbid energy condensed into the earth, much like the formation of the physical world. Baoyu's mental space surged and churned with changes profoundly aligned with the mysteries of the universe, unfolding a completely new mental realm before him, awaiting his transformation to unleash his full power and dominate the three realms!
Gazing at the smile on her beloved's lips, a smile tinged with both innocence and mischief, the beauty, her heart throbbed with delight, smiled shyly and happily. A glint of brilliance flashed in her exquisite eyes. Now, Baoyu's signature smile gained even more allure, a captivating aura of dominance subtly revealed.
Domineering yet not arrogant, benevolent yet not pedantic—this is the way of the king!
"Alas!" Miaoyu sighed repeatedly, overwhelmed with emotion. Her heart was filled with an inescapable fog of confusion. What was the relationship between this immortal and Baoyu? Why did she care for him so much?! Could it be that the 'Spirit Jade' had cultivated itself into an immortal?! And why was it a woman's voice? Why would such a divine being be born alongside Baoyu? "I don't want to think about it anymore!" The beautiful woman forcefully erased the endless chaos of her thoughts. A magical power flowed silently, and with tender jade hands, she carefully lifted Baoyu's sleeping body. Amidst the fluttering of her robes, she pierced the night sky and rode away on clouds. In an instant, she vanished without a trace, and the earth returned to the usual stillness of night. Only the dust swirling in the wind silently recounted everything that had happened.
As the moon hid and the sun rose, the dawn's light, carrying a vibrant life force, bathed the world in its glow. Inside the Red Mansion, Bao Yu, under the attentive care of Qingwen and his sister-in-law, slept peacefully. The celestial beauty, concerned for her beloved, though not personally attending to him, remained in the mansion's side room for the first time to meditate and regulate her breathing. This was a dramatic change for Miaoyu, who was naturally solitary and had a fastidious nature!
The upheaval happened so suddenly, like a thunderbolt striking in an instant, that when Miaoyu flew to the mansion carrying Bao Yu, she only encountered the anxious figure of Zhen Shiyin rushing about!
After a brief moment of chaos, the Red Mansion returned to calm with Miaoyu's gentle explanation. Outside, however, the raging storm intensified, an irresistible shock sweeping across the entire demon realm in the terrified, bewildered eyes of Xiao Xuanfeng. Even the righteous and evil factions of the human world were stunned, unsure whether to rejoice or grieve!
"Qi...Qi...The Great Sage Equal to Heaven is back!" The pale-faced Little Whirlwind stammered at first, then, mustering his courage, roared hysterically! The terrifying news
of the winged Monkey King spread throughout the human and demon realms in the shortest time possible, thanks to Little Whirlwind's deliberate efforts! "What?! How is this possible?" The One-Horned Flood Dragon King, hidden in the capital, paled drastically. Looking at his messenger, he couldn't believe his ears. "You said Sun Wukong is back, and even killed Black Feather! Is that true?!" "Your Majesty, this was said personally by the Whirlwind King of Whirlwind Cave. Every word I uttered is true; I would never dare to utter a single falsehood!" The little demon, a sense of fear rising within him, replied with a trembling voice, "Moreover, I, along with the other demons, saw the corpses of Black Feather King and the Bear Demon. Their deaths were gruesome!" What to do? The mighty aura of the One-Horned King vanished in the face of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's fame. His imposing figure shrank instantly, and as he slumped back in his chair, his mind raced like lightning.
He wasn't surprised that Black Feather would die at Sun Wukong's hands; after all, the latter was a fearsome demon lord, feared throughout the demon realm. Even the 100,000 soldiers of Heaven were no match for Sun Wukong, let alone these scattered demon warriors! But why would this legendary Buddha come to the mortal world? Could it be that Jia Baoyu is his relative?!
Helpless, the Water Demon King mocked himself for a moment, and as he relaxed, a thought suddenly struck him—though reluctantly, he couldn't help but wonder—could Sun Wukong also be after the "Five-Colored Divine Stone"?!
It's over! This is hopeless! The more the Water Demon King thought about it, the more convinced he became of his guess. Rumor had it that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was the incarnation of the divine stone, and the bloodthirsty Sun Wukong was most likely here to claim kinship!
Chapter Forty-Nine: Good and Evil Avoid Each Other Alas! Hope is gone! The vast disparity between heaven and earth rendered the Water Demon King utterly devoid of any will to resist; his thoughts naturally turned to survival.
"Guards! Immediately withdraw the personnel monitoring the Jia residence. We must return to the Demon Realm tonight and discuss this further later!" The One-Horned King issued a series of orders, secretly lamenting that he had intended to have Jia Lian make his move soon, but unexpectedly, this strange turn of events had occurred! It seemed all his efforts had been in vain!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The messenger demon carefully awakened the contemplative Demon King, then proudly boasted, "This humble demon overheard Peach Demon discussing something with her subordinates. I wonder if it will be of any help to Your Majesty?" "Oh! Tell me!" The One-Horned King's mind sharpened. Although he was tyrannical and lecherous, he understood his subordinates well and knew that his trusted confidants wouldn't speak nonsense without reason. A thought flashed through his mind, and he recalled a long-standing rumor circulating in the demon realm: it was said that the most beautiful woman in the demon realm, Queen Luomei, was once a celestial fairy before becoming a demon. Due to a complicated and tragic relationship with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, she and Peach Demon were banished to the demon realm! Judging from this rumor, whose veracity was unknown, Peach Demon, who knew Sun Wukong quite well, must have something to say.
Thinking of this, the One-Horned King's interest was piqued even more. He leaned forward, his eyes filled with anticipation, and urged, "Speak quickly!" The demon general couldn't help but feel pleased and smug, secretly praising himself for his shrewdness. Seeing the Peach Demon and her group gathered together, he knew they must have something to discuss. "Your Majesty," he said, "the Peach Demon said that Sun Wukong is inherently mischievous, and his actions are unpredictable and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people! She told her subordinates not to panic too much, saying that perhaps the monkey only came down to earth to play on a whim. As long as we hide away for a while, he will leave when he gets tired of playing, and then it will be a great time for our demon realm to enjoy ourselves!" "That makes sense!" The One-Horned Demon King, his face beaming with delight, nodded repeatedly. His greed for the divine stone was rekindled, and he praised the demon general greatly.
It seemed that Jia Lian would eventually prove useful. The One-Horned Flood Dragon King was very satisfied with his hidden move. With a thought, he loudly ordered, "Leave a few brothers to scout out the Jia family mansion and Sun Wukong's movements. Remember not to reveal yourselves. Be careful in everything. Report to me immediately if there is any good news!" After a slight pause, the ambitious One-Horned Flood Dragon King stood up, head held high, and walked out of the human's residence. Then, he took to the air and rode the clouds—to escape! Although he flew so gracefully, it was still just one word—escape, a humiliating escape!
Meanwhile, Peach Fairy and the others rushed back to the Demon Realm. The lively little flower fairy couldn't help but ask the Second Palace Master, full of doubt, "Sister Peach, why did you tell the water demon's subordinates our plan when you knew they were eavesdropping in secret?!" Another grass fairy immediately chimed in, "Sister Peach is definitely trying to deceive that cruel water demon, am I right?" "Yes, that's definitely what Sister Peach is planning!" The little fairies all chimed in, agreeing. The fairies had a very good relationship in private, and could be considered an anomaly among demons. This might be related to their true forms, since flowers, plants, and trees absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become spirits and attain enlightenment, so their nature naturally leans towards the spiritual and beautiful side!
"Hehe..." The Peach Demon's smile was radiant, though a fleeting hint of worry flashed in her eyes. Before speaking, she laughed, "I'm not lying to him. What I said is what I truly believe, and it's highly likely. As for why I did this, it's not appropriate to reveal it yet; you'll understand in time!" Beneath her gentle smile, the Peach Demon's heart churned. The shock she felt upon receiving the information about Sun Wukong was beyond measure. Because of her sister, the Plum Demon, she was even more concerned than others. The incredibly intelligent demon, after careful consideration, devised a lie that was highly likely to come true.
Only in this way would those who intended to seize the divine stone not cower in fear of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! The Peach Demon believed that driven by greed, these fellows would inevitably emerge after a while, and then, how could the meddlesome Sun Wukong not intervene?
Thinking of this, the beautiful demon smiled slightly. Her elaborate scheme was all for the sake of ensuring her sister could confront Sun Wukong about his breach of faith. If any demon or human could drag out the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, how could they possibly fail to find him?! Meanwhile,
the One-Horned Flood Dragon King and the Peach Demon quietly disappeared, while the heavily injured Whirlwind Demon Monk could only hide anxiously in the Imperial Preceptor's mansion. He even used the excuse of refining elixirs for the Emperor to lock himself in a secret chamber, healing his wounds while avoiding Sun Wukong's revenge! The poor Whirlwind, even with all his might, couldn't find peace to meditate. The moment he closed his eyes, nightmares would assail him; the deadly shadow of the staff would always flicker in his mind, refusing to leave! Help! Unable to endure it any longer, the Whirlwind cried out in despair, instinctively jerking backward to avoid the flickering shadow of the staff.
With a loud bang, the demon monk's head slammed solidly against the wall, leaving a clear mark. The poor little whirlwind immediately lost consciousness. A happy smile appeared on the unconscious demon's face; although his head ached, he was temporarily free from the torment of the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven"!
The demon realm was in uproar, and the righteous path in the human world was also greatly disturbed. They were very familiar with the legend of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and greatly admired his unparalleled heroism, but they were also greatly helpless against his unruly wildness. The righteous path members, with mixed feelings of joy and worry, celebrated the return of the righteous god to the mortal world, but they also had great doubts about whether the Great Sage Equaling Heaven would suddenly decide to wreak havoc on the human world!
Overjoyed, Sister You San strode out of the Ningguo Mansion. The instant she saw the secret mark left by her senior brother, her melancholy heart seemed to burst into song like a hundred birds singing and spring flowers blooming. Bathed in the bright spring sunshine, the girl's beautiful face, though seemingly resolute, rippled with emotion. Her heart echoed with a lovesick murmur, "Senior brother has finally come to find me! After so long, he has finally come to find me! I wonder if senior brother is..." The more she thought about it, the more shy she became. She couldn't help but secretly spit on herself, then quickened her pace and ran away, letting the sudden gust of cold wind scatter her churning thoughts!
"What?!" Inside the luxurious teahouse, Sister You's beautiful eyes widened in shock. "Senior Brother, are you really going back to the Great Wilderness Mountain?" Liu Xianglian, filled with regret, nodded heavily, sighing helplessly, "This is a personal order from the Sect Leader. My uncle, my fellow disciples, and I have no choice but to obey. It's just that I'm sorry to trouble you!" Liu Xianglian paused slightly, forcing a smile to calm his junior sister's anxious heart. He gazed directly at the girl, "Junior Sister, the heavy responsibility of our sect and the safety of the world are all entrusted to you! You must do your utmost to obtain the Five-Colored Divine Stone and hand it over to the Sect Leader!" "Senior Brother," Sister You's beautiful face revealed a hint of confusion as she hesitantly voiced the long-standing question in her heart, "Why do I feel that Jia Baoyu doesn't seem like a spoiled brat?" "That Jia Lian is exactly as you described; he's been harassing my second sister lately!" Startled, Liu Xianglian's expression turned even more solemn as he earnestly "instructed" the girl with the air of an elder. "Junior sister, you are inexperienced in the ways of the world. You don't know that those truly wicked people are often outwardly humble and kind. Someone like Jia Lian is merely a petty villain; he can't cause any real trouble. Only hypocrites are the truly wicked. The Five-Colored Divine Stone, such a sacred object, has fallen into Jia Baoyu's hands; one day he will surely use it for evil. By then, it will be too late to stop him!" "Oh, I understand!" The innocent young girl suppressed her confusion deep within her mind. Driven by pure love, she resolutely shouldered the weighty responsibility entrusted to her by her senior brother! After all, her senior brother was her childhood dream lover!
"By the way, Junior Sister, have you seen Senior Sister?" Liu Xianglian's thoughts shifted, and he thought of the aloof and cold Miaoyu with a mixture of love and hate. Although he had seen her once recently when she paid respects to her master, the beauty showed no joy at their long-awaited reunion; instead, she was even colder and more distant than before. How could this not fuel his resentment and hatred?! As Miaoyu's magical power greatly increased, her exquisite beauty became even more ethereal and otherworldly, how could this not drive him mad with love?!
"No, although I really want to see Senior Sister!" You Sanjie's eyes flashed with sadness, both because she was so close to Senior Sister yet unable to see her, and because her senior brother still treated her with indifference, using her more than loving her!
The girl wasn't stupid; after careful consideration recently, she had discovered many flaws in her senior brother's words; but her unwavering devotion made her deliberately appear foolish, and after a good night's sleep, she made all the illogical things seem perfectly reasonable! No matter what, she was determined to fulfill her senior brother's wish, even if it was wrong, she would see it through to the end without turning back!
"Junior sister, you did the right thing! Don't make things difficult for senior sister!" Liu Xianglian felt a great weight lifted from his heart, unaware that his seemingly foolish junior sister actually had other thoughts.
Watching her senior brother's figure stride away without a backward glance, You Sanjie's blank gaze lingered for a long time, tears of sorrow silently welling up in her eyes, climbing up her cheeks, streaking across the air, and falling onto the teahouse floor!
A young girl's heart is always poetic! But this poetry contains both tender and poignant love, and bitter and sorrowful farewells!
The dark clouds that had shrouded the Jia mansion instantly dissipated with the wind, and the shadowy, eerie figures of the past vanished without a trace!
Alas! The name of the Great Sage is indeed earth-shattering! The disciples of Wuzhuang Temple gazed at the tranquil Jia Mansion, filled with countless emotions. Jingchen, with a touch of lingering affection, looked at the Jia Mansion she had guarded for over half a year, then leaped away first, disappearing in an instant!
The righteous and evil paths vanished from the mortal realm, and the capital, once teeming with demons and cultivators, returned to peace! Only the power struggles of the mortal world continued to simmer beneath the surface, the strong surviving and the weak being weeded out!
Inside the magnificent and imposing Imperial Palace!
Princess Tianyi, beaming with excitement, skipped and jumped out of the Empress Dowager's chambers. After days of persistent pleading, the Empress Dowager, who doted on her granddaughter, finally relented to her outrageous request, and a forged imperial edict fell into the hands of the spoiled princess!
"Princess, did you succeed?" The two pretty palace maids, Tian Changdi Jiu, had been waiting outside the Empress Dowager's palace for a long time. Seeing that the princess looked happy and was no longer as sullen as before, they breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer had to guard the gate every day!
"Hehe..." Princess Tianyi proudly waved the imperial edict in her hand, chuckling playfully, "With this edict, that annoying brat won't be able to escape my grasp. Let's see if he still dares to call me a 'dead rabbit'!" At this point, the little princess suddenly had a brilliant idea. Her adorable crescent-shaped eyes flashed with a mischievous light, showing a eagerness to try it out. "Why not castrate that brat and make him a eunuch? I can call him a dead eunuch, and he can stay in the palace to play with me forever. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?!" "Giggle, giggle..." The little princess became increasingly happy as she spoke, completely unaware that her two knowledgeable maids were wide-eyed with astonishment, their red lips wide enough to swallow a large egg. They never expected Princess Tianyi to come up with such a "brilliant" idea, and their hearts couldn't help but worry for Jia Baoyu, whom they had never met before. He was going to be in big trouble this time!
"Princess...Princess," Tianchang stammered, barely suppressing a laugh, interrupting Princess Tianyi's wonderful fantasy. Her jade-like face flushed slightly as she asked softly, "Do you know what 'castration' means?" "No!" The spoiled princess involuntarily shook her head, then quickly added, "But I can ask the palace maids. They're so old, they must know how to castrate a brat. I'll learn and castrate him myself!" "Isn't that inappropriate?" Dijiu, sweating profusely at the princess's sudden whim, advised her shyly, "If you castrate him..." "He's no longer a man, isn't that a bit too much!" "Hmph! Who told him to call someone a 'dead rabbit'? I'll make him a 'dead eunuch'!" The little princess raised her round, jade-like face and answered confidently, "Besides, what's wrong with being a eunuch?! I'll make him my personal eunuch! Hehe... I'll name him 'Little Baozi,' what do you say?!" Looking at the radiant Princess Tianyi, the two personal maids were speechless, secretly sighing. It seems the little princess hasn't grown up yet! She doesn't know how important castration is to a man! Poor Jia Baoyu, poor "Little Baozi"! Just as the ridiculous imperial decree
was about to be sent out of the palace gates, a piece of bad news about the Jia family was prematurely delivered to the palace: the old master of the Jia family's Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing, had passed away! The entire capital was shaken. The old master of the Jia family, the head of the four great families, was no ordinary person!
Our lovely Princess Tianyi was also quite upset, not because she was saddened by Jia Jing, but because Consort Yuan had stopped the imperial decree from leaving the palace. However, she did promise to help her lure Baoyu into the palace so she could take revenge once the Jia family's funeral was over!
Chapter Fifty: A Son's Complex. Baoyu slept soundly for a day and a night. Having been away from home for so long, he was afraid that his beloved Xiren would worry. After a passionate encounter with his sister-in-law Qingwen, he returned to the Grand View Garden of the Jia family, feeling refreshed. The smug fellow couldn't help but feel regretful. He hadn't even had a chance to woo Miaoyu before she left. Although the beauty and he exchanged glances, she remained steadfast, not letting him gain any advantage!
No! He had to take the initiative and become a true couple with Miaoyu! Baoyu's mind raced, and he secretly resolved to completely win over this celestial beauty!
"Second Master, you're finally back! Something terrible has happened!" Before Second Master Bao could even step onto the high steps of the Jia Mansion, the gatekeepers rushed down, their anxious faces showing no sign of pretense. One of them cried out in a heart-wrenching voice, "The eldest master of the East Mansion has passed away!" "What? The eldest master has passed away!" The immense shock left Bao Yu momentarily stunned. He instinctively looked up at the pure white world, where snow was swirling in the wind. His astonishment was palpable. Shouldn't Jia Jing have passed away in the sweltering heat of summer?! Why was it the dead of winter?! Could it be…? A jolt ran through Bao Yu's mind. Although he was deeply wounded on the night of Chuan'er's accident, the vague memories were still etched into his extraordinary memory. Realizing what had happened, he felt both ashamed and relieved. Jia Jing must have been injured by the bear demon while saving him, and that was why he had died.
Thinking of this, Baoyu felt a pang of guilt. His master had been so devoted to him, yet he had so carelessly forgotten him completely. If he had used the divine stone to save him beforehand, perhaps he could have saved his life!
A thought flashed through his mind: he had already personally killed the bear demon, unintentionally avenging Jia Jing. His immense shame eased slightly.
A thousand thoughts rushed through his mind in a flash. With a heavy sigh, Baoyu realized the dead were gone; all he could do was to properly handle his funeral arrangements as a way of repaying him.
"What time did the master pass away? How are things going?" With a sorrowful face, Baoyu calmly inquired about the events. For a fleeting moment, the image of Fengjie, whom he hadn't seen for days, flashed through his mind. She should have returned home by now, and his mother should have come back too. He hadn't expected that Lady Wang had gone back to the Wang family with Fengjie! He had been feeling down for several days, but now it was a blessing in disguise! Heh, heh… “Reporting to Second Master!” Seeing his master’s calm demeanor, the servant quickly composed himself and answered in detail, “It was last night at the hour of Gengshen that the Taoist priests from Xuanzhen Temple brought tea to the Master, and only then did we realize that the Master had already passed away peacefully!” He paused slightly, his face showing admiration, and added with a touch of mystery, “Everyone is saying that the Master has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven!” “Have Second Madam Feng and Madam returned from the Wang family?” Baoyu had no time for idle chatter with the servants, and changed the subject directly to ask about the beauty he was concerned about. After receiving a nod of affirmation from the servants, he rushed straight to the steward’s room without hesitation.
"Sister Ping, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!" Just as Baoyu was about to lift the curtain and enter, he bumped into Ping'er, who was rushing out. Ping'er, who was loyal to her master, had also gone back to the Wang family to visit her family with Fengjie, which was why Baoyu said these words. He had always admired and cherished Ping'er, this kind "matchmaker," and in addition, the two of them had had that ambiguous moment before. With his heart undergoing a subtle change, the Second Master Bao was even more unrestrained in his laughter and words in front of the beauty, revealing his true feelings!
"Baoyu, where have you been? The whole manor is waiting for you!" Ping'er, holding the manor's token, clearly had something to do. After giving Baoyu a complicated look, the gentle beauty said with a rare coquettish tone, "Hurry up and go
help! Grandma is exhausted!" Before she finished speaking, the delicate beauty had already hurried away. Her swift figure revealed a hint of panic. She was so anxious because she was really busy, and also because her chaotic thoughts made her body hot. She could no longer look Baoyu in the eye! If she didn't escape quickly, the blush on her face would give her away!
Seeing the delicate young woman disappear at the courtyard gate, Baoyu's heart lifted and he withdrew his lingering gaze. Then, with tenderness, he gently lifted the thick curtain, revealing the beauty he had been thinking of day and night to his eyes inch by inch!
Seated gracefully at the table, her voluptuous figure exuded a captivating charm, subtly revealing a sharp intellect and strength. It was this strength that made Feng Jie stand
out in the Jia household, where beauties abounded, giving her a unique allure. The tranquility of the moon and the intoxicating glow of the morning sun paled in comparison to the beauty Bao Yu deeply longed for! "Feng Jie…" The affectionate call abruptly ceased. The beautiful Feng Jie was indeed in the room, but several unsightly servants and stewardesses had appeared! The shrewd and capable Feng Jie, who disliked noise when in charge, commanded respect from her servants, who remained silent, not daring to utter a sound. Bao Yu, in his haste, assumed only his beloved awaited his heartfelt confession.
Suddenly, two rows of eyes turned to the slightly astonished Bao Yu. Fortunately, Bao Yu was usually intimate with the ladies of the household, so the servants had no suspicions.
"Brother Bao, you've arrived! Sit down for a while!" Feng Jie's calm words were perfectly natural, her expression showing no sign of panic. Truly worthy of the title "Spicy" Feng Jie! Before her words had even finished, her slightly raised head was buried in the account book, meticulously checking all the funeral items for any omissions.
"Proceed according to the list!" Feng Jie finished reviewing the account book at an unprecedented speed. Her authoritative words left the servants with no room for resistance, let alone any thought of cheating or taking advantage of the situation!
Feng Er's methods of punishing servants were the complete opposite of her charming and gentle appearance! Otherwise, how could she be called "Spicy" Feng Jie?!
As the crowd dispersed, Bao Yu, his heart burning with desire, rushed to the beauty before the curtains had even settled. Before his outstretched arms could embrace her voluptuous body, the maid's announcement outside the door extinguished the flames of passion in his eyes like a bucket of cold water!
Another messenger came to report! Baoyu glared resentfully at the endless stream of people, cursing inwardly how extravagant these aristocratic families were at holding a funeral. They needed a hundred Taoist priests, and not only that, they wanted a hundred monks! Alas! When would he ever be able to be alone with Sister Feng?!
Time passed quietly, but the servants coming and going before Baoyu continued incessantly, showing no sign of decreasing. Baoyu could only silently question the heavens, his heart filled with resentment and hatred!
Sister Feng, focused on handling matters, was busy and dizzy, but her heart was also filled with anxiety. To avoid Jia Lian, she had used the excuse of illness to return to her parents' home with her aunt, Lady Wang. Now, with the sudden change in her family, she had no choice but to return. She and her beloved had endless things to say, but though they were so close, it felt like they were worlds apart. Almost an hour had passed, and she and Baoyu hadn't had a single word. How frustrating!
Taking advantage of the brief moment between the two groups, Baoyu noticed that his beloved's face was slightly flushed from exhaustion. He couldn't help but feel a pang of concern, saying, "Sister, let me handle these matters. You should rest for a while!" "No need," Fengjie replied, "it'll be done soon! We need to rush out of the city this afternoon to the Xuanzhen Temple to fetch the body of the late Master!" Fengjie gazed gratefully at her lover, then said softly with a touch of shyness, "I'm used to doing these things; it's not tiring! Besides, household affairs should be handled by us women. Men are responsible for external affairs, and women for internal affairs!" Fengjie's words instantly filled Baoyu with joy. She was clearly comparing them to a married couple! Although their hearts were in sync, this expression of love was even more genuine and heartfelt!
When Jia Jing suddenly passed away, the Jia family was completely unprepared. His sons and grandsons, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, were both serving in other places and wouldn't be back for at least half a month. Jia Zheng had returned to Jinling after a serious illness, and Jia She and his son Jia Lian were both born playboys who didn't care much about household affairs. Although Bao Yu had changed drastically and become exceptionally handsome, he still had no interest in the household's affairs. The heavy burden of the Jia family's affairs thus fell on the shoulders of Feng Jie, a woman!
A constant stream of people came and went between the two mansions. Under Feng Jie's shrewd command, the Jia family members moved about in a hurry but without chaos. Indeed, many hands make light work. The extravagant funeral of this noble family was prepared in just half a day. Even the ancestral temple, the Iron Threshold Temple, in the suburbs was ready, awaiting only the selection of a date by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Taoist priests to begin the mourning procession. The month-long mourning hall for relatives and friends was set up within the Ningguo Mansion. The extravagance was truly astonishing! An imperial edict of condolence further elevated the funeral to its zenith, no wonder the four great families attracted the covetous eyes of petty people!
In the afternoon, the masters of the two Jia mansions gathered before the gates. The long procession stretched as far as the eye could see. Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang, and a group of young ladies and grandmothers naturally led the way, while the young men, including Jia Lian, went ahead to arrange things along the route, leaving only the beloved Bao Er Ye behind amidst the flowers. Just as
the procession was about to depart, Feng Jie, who had been late due to chores, finally appeared alongside the leisurely Bao Er Ye.
"Mother! Your son has missed you so much!" Lost in his own thoughts, Baoyu deliberately lingered among the women, his burning eyes already fixed on Lady Wang's eyes, which betrayed a hint of panic.
The middle-aged beauty's voluptuous body trembled slightly involuntarily. Days of avoidance had failed to calm the turmoil in her heart; instead, it had allowed the terrifying thoughts swirling within her to grow stronger. Perhaps it was the long loneliness of her secluded chambers, perhaps the overwhelming forbidden pleasure, perhaps the deep-seated "son complex" finally beginning to emerge, perhaps… In any case, the beauty's attempt to flee ultimately backfired.
Distance blurred her feelings, and this allure gilded the forbidden with a beautiful halo. Just as Lady Wang was desperately fighting against her illicit love, fate forced her back to the Jia mansion, back before her "terrible" son. How could she not be flustered and at a loss the moment she saw Baoyu?
"Sister, what's wrong?" Aunt Xue, standing beside Lady Wang, saw her lost in thought and kindly reminded her, "Yu'er is paying his respects!" "Oh!" Lady Wang was startled by her sister's words. Forcing herself to clear her chaotic thoughts, she softly said to Baoyu, "Yu'er, your 'mother' misses you very much!" Although her words were gentle, the beautiful woman deliberately emphasized the word "mother" to remind Baoyu of their unchangeable kinship, and also to remind herself not to let her momentary lapse in judgment give her son an opportunity!
The former "fake" Baoyu had been completely oblivious to this, let alone the one whose magical powers had greatly increased and whose thoughts had become more entangled. He ignored the beautiful woman's veiled "warning," instead quickening his pace and rushing towards Lady Wang, his large, fiery hands parting to the sides, his intention to embrace her intimately without any restraint.
No! Lady Wang's heart screamed in terror. Her delicate body trembled, trying to retreat, but her weak feet wouldn't obey. In such a public place, was Baoyu going to do something impolite?
This thought filled the dignified beauty with even greater panic. In her haste, shame and anger surged within her, and she instinctively felt resentment and resistance towards Baoyu's relentless pressure.
The blush of shyness quietly transformed into the frost of anger, and a cold, merciless rebuke shot forth from the depths of her heart! Lady Wang, her mind swirling with rage, felt a surge of hatred. She had long wanted to teach her disobedient son a lesson; after all, she had been living in constant anxiety lately! The culprit could not be let off the hook!
The subtle changes in the beautiful woman's face did not escape Baoyu's extraordinary senses. Seeing her blushing and angry, he was not worried but delighted. His exaggerated movements were to test the woman's inner thoughts after so many days apart. Although he did not experience a passionate and tender encounter, Baoyu was not discouraged at all. The imaginary Baoyu chuckled and murmured confidently to himself, "As long as your heart cannot be at peace, I will one day completely win your heart!" The short distance disappeared under Baoyu's burning feet in an instant. Just as he was about to reach her, a playful smile flashed in his eyes. Before the blushing and angry Lady Wang could rebuke him, he had already turned around and unexpectedly pounced on her. Madam Wang—beside Aunt Xue, "Aunt, Yu'er missed you too!" Under Madam Wang's complex gaze, filled with surprise and relief, Bao Yu forcefully rushed into Aunt Xue's arms. Caught off guard, the middle-aged beauty couldn't react in time, her jade-like hands instinctively wrapping around her lover's broad shoulders. She immediately realized what was happening and forced a natural smile, saying, "Yu'er, stop fooling around, we still have important matters to attend to!" Chapter 51 Fragrant Carriage and Fragrant Sister Feng After waking from his dream, Bao Yu found himself even more infatuated with beautiful women, and "Little Bao Yu" correspondingly lost control. Driven by the frequent bursts of lustful thoughts in his heart, the disobedient "Little Bao Yu" often stood up and roared! Just now, having intimately touched Aunt Xue's mature and voluptuous body, before the intoxicating fragrance had even entered his heart, "Little Bao Yu" was already eager to try!
The middle-aged beauty, pressed close to her, immediately noticed her lover's embarrassing change. Adding to this, Baoyu feigned coquettishness and thrust forward suddenly, his hot, foreign object pressing against her smooth, flat surface. Even with layers of resistance, the burning passion clearly entered Aunt Xue's body.
"Mmm!" The middle-aged beauty groaned softly, involuntarily recalling the object's unparalleled power and that transcendent "divine bliss"! A blush of shyness swept across her intoxicated face with a swift movement. Fearing she might reveal her secret, Aunt Xue could only subtly shift her body, giving Bao Yu another knowing, reproachful glare. "Yu'er, Feng'er is getting impatient. She has many things to attend to. Let's set off soon!" "Yes! Brother Bao, you have plenty of time to compete with Sister Bao for favor. Now, get in the carriage!" The gentle and virtuous Li Wan always managed to lend Bao Yu a hand at crucial moments. Her lighthearted teasing remark instantly drew laughter from the other women, naturally ignoring Aunt Xue's "strange" expression.
"Mother, I'm not used to riding horses. Would you mind riding in your carriage?" Bao Yu's eyes shone with anticipation. Beneath his calm exterior, his heart was pounding, fantasizing about the beautiful woman readily agreeing. Sharing a carriage would be quite a treat!
"No!" Madam Wang refused firmly, her urgent tone startling all the women, who immediately surrounded her with puzzled gazes.
Sensing something amiss, the clever woman quickly explained naturally, "I already told your aunt that my sisters and I will ride together to catch up. You should take Baochai's carriage!" "Then I'll take Sister Feng's!" Under the watchful eyes of his sisters, each with their own unique charm, Baoyu happily walked towards Sister Feng. Although he hadn't managed to climb into Madam Wang's carriage, being able to ride with the beautiful Sister Feng was something he had always dreamed of! Alas
! One cannot have both fish and bear's paw! Under the slightly disappointed gazes of his sisters, Baoyu indulged in his own fantasies, his mind suddenly abruptly withdrawing as he stepped into Sister Feng's fragrant carriage, his attention now focused entirely on the alluring body of the voluptuous young woman!
Uncontrollable moans of passion filled the cramped space of the carriage, and the lonely man and woman, as expected, were swept up in a tidal wave of love.
The moment the carriage doors closed, the aroused Baoyu was about to embrace his beloved when, unexpectedly, her voluptuous body, like a blazing fire, willingly threw itself into his arms.
"Baoyu, hold me tight!" The longing of separation ignited like wildfire, and amidst countless sparks, Fengjie's heart was filled with surging emotions. True to her reputation for being "fiery," since the shackles on her heart had already been broken, then let love be love! To love boldly, to boldly pursue the blessings of true love, the beginning of happiness!
For a mature and beautiful woman yearning for true love, what could better express the depth of her heart than a passionate embrace?
There is! A wild and unrestrained deep kiss!
"Mmm!" Before Fengjie could speak again, Baoyu swept her up and pulled her onto his lap. He then lowered himself, and the two lovers fell onto the soft couch of the carriage. His fiery lips swiftly sealed the beautiful young woman's yearning mouth. His agile red tongue, like a dragon entering the sea, fiercely and powerfully pried open the weak defenses of her rosy lips, then forcefully assaulted her pearly teeth. Fengjie's last resistance crumbled under her willing surrender, and the victorious army began its sweeping conquest with the might of a conquering ruler!
A mature woman is indeed a mature woman, far surpassing the charm of a naive girl! Her smooth, fragrant tongue bravely offered her true heart, not only entwining with Baoyu's red tongue in a tender embrace, but also, just as her triumphant opponent was about to withdraw, her gentle tongue suddenly gained momentum, swiftly counterattacking into her lover's mouth, catching him completely off guard!
Sparks flew from a deep kiss, igniting a blazing flame. A boundless, passionate love surged forth like a raging tide, swirling and churning on their newly formed, intimate "bridge." The small space, enveloped in endless love threads, quietly became alluring, warm, and intoxicating!
His insatiable hands climbed onto the beauty's delicate body, their roaming freely offering no relief to the burning desire in Bao Yu's heart. The thick winter clothes hindered their passionate outburst, and the tender caresses were like a gentle breeze, utterly ineffective!
"Mmm!" The beautiful young woman, unable to contain her burning desire, writhed in Bao Yu's arms, her heaving breasts and buttocks rubbing vigorously against his strong body, expressing her intense dissatisfaction!
"Ah!" Bao Yu roared inwardly, deeply ashamed of his failure. Faced with such a beauty, he couldn't bring her pleasure; as a man, he felt utterly humiliated.
A burst of invisible magical light suddenly appeared, and a mysterious and wondrous wall of magical power instantly blocked the invasion of the cold air outside the carriage. A powerful barrier was casually created. Baoyu was indeed extraordinary now, but the rascal was not thinking about exorcising demons and monsters. He used all his magical power perfectly for this "wonderful" matter. He was truly amazing!
A new warm current flowed back into the space, and the bright spring colors bloomed in the carriage. The infatuated Fengjie was slightly stunned by the incredible change. In an instant, she was dragged into the sea of passion and desire by Baoyu. She no longer had the mind to understand the reason for this!
A surge of pleasure rose, and a massive wave lifted the beautiful young woman to the peak of desire. Her boiling heart cried out, "Come, my love, let the passion rage even more fiercely!" The extraordinary Bao Yu seemed to hear her voice; his wild hands, no longer tender, erupted with unbridled passion. His intense masculine spirit caused the woman's beautiful eyes to sparkle, making her even more alluring!
Without the chill of the cold, Bao Yu had no more inhibitions. His impatient hands conjured countless afterimages in the air, far more swift and skillful than when he vanquished demons. Before Feng Jie could even utter a surprised cry, her thick winter clothes had already silently flown away, leaving only a thin undergarment barely covering the alluring, endless spring scenery!
The sexually aroused man did not immediately remove Feng Jie's last barrier; he had waited so long for this thrilling moment! How could she let this most beautiful moment slip by?!
"Baoyu, no, no..." Her lover's sudden pause finally brought the beauty back to her senses. The beautiful young woman, equally consumed by passion, was willing, but she couldn't forget the shameful reality. She only wanted to caress her lover to ease her longing, but she wasn't bold enough to commit adultery in the carriage. She knew that just a partition separated them from a throng of people.
Thinking of this, Fengjie, unable to contain her shame, whispered coquettishly, "You big bad guy, you always only know how to bully me! There are so many people outside, what if… do you want me to live?!" Baoyu couldn't help but feel wronged, secretly grumbling to himself. This was the beauty who had taken the initiative, throwing herself into his arms with such passion. He had only wanted a tender touch, but with such encouragement, how could he not stop?!
"Sister," Baoyu whispered deliberately in her ear, his warm, intimate breath penetrating Fengjie's heart, making her tremble and her body heat up. His teasing words were filled with a dreamlike allure, "They can't hear us outside. If you don't believe me, you can try shouting!" Fengjie's shy face showed a hint of doubt, her beautiful eyes glancing instinctively towards the carriage door. But she didn't dare to try, and could only stretch out lazily in Baoyu's arms, her body undisturbed, asking her lover with boundless curiosity, "What's going on? Are you telling the truth? And why do I feel so warm? I'm not cold at all!" A woman's curiosity is indeed boundless! Baoyu had intended to dispel her concerns, but he had unintentionally triggered a series of questions from Fengjie, causing the heat in her body to quickly subside amidst her confusion, and her uncontrolled passion gradually returned to normal. The man, lamenting his
miscalculation, secretly regretted not striking while the iron was hot and seducing her! With a bitter smile and deep regret, he pulled the beauty into his arms again. "Sister, let's put aside this spoilsport for now and let me love you properly!" Seeing the curiosity still lingering on her face, Bao Yu quickened the kneading of her full breasts, whispering passionately, "I'll tell you the details later!" Before he finished speaking, the clever fellow had already lifted her undergarment. As the white bodice fluttered away, the last wisp of mist surrounding her voluptuous body disappeared, revealing her breathtakingly naked body to Bao Yu's eyes. Smooth as cream, glistening with light, the undulating waves of her breasts and buttocks as his hands moved made him dizzy and unable to control himself!
"Ah!" Feng Jie's passionate moans grew more intense. After a moment of clarity, she was once again conquered by Bao Yu, surrendering to the allure of desire. She no longer cared whether Bao Yu's words were true or false, nor did she care about the crowds outside the carriage!
As her light robe was removed, her swollen breasts came into view, their trembling cherries glistening and red, standing proudly on their "branches," moving without wind, exuding the intoxicating fragrance and deep, affectionate call of a mature woman. A pair of lips, tender and loving, enveloped them in response, a fiery red tongue slowly circling her jade peaks, repeatedly brushing lightly across her cherries, yet never quite swallowing them whole.
At the same time, a large hand, drawn by passion, moved gracefully downwards, skillfully reaching the jade gate, a place he had visited many times but never fully conquered. Two soft, alluring red lips parted passionately under the deft touch of her fingers, like plucking strings on a harp, and the pearls hidden within fell once more between her precious fingers, which she caressed with tender affection.
"Ah... Baoyu... um... this is in the carriage, we can't..." Even as desire raged in her heart and passion clouded her eyes, the shrewd and extraordinary Fengjie, under the influence of passion, still managed to retain a sliver of sanity; the beautiful woman, though weak and powerless in her resistance, quietly opened her jade legs, the fragrant spring tide spreading across her valley, the passionate peach blossoms blooming, just waiting for her lover's passionate visit. Was his
first time with Fengjie really going to be here?! A moment of hesitation flashed through Baoyu's mind, true love flashed through his thoughts, but it was only a fleeting moment. The exquisite pleasure of the fusion of body and soul easily pushed him completely into the sea of desire, consuming him in an instant!
Never mind! As long as he and the beauty were mutually in love, what difference did it make where they were?! Casting aside his worries, Baoyu stretched out, his hot breath heavy and intense. His large hands, loosening his clothes, had just removed his belt when a merciless bucket of cold water was poured over his heart!
"Grandma, Grandma..." Ping'er's forced, calm calls rang out from outside the carriage. Before her mistress could respond, the delicate beauty replied, "We're almost at Xuanzhen Temple. Please prepare yourselves!" Her light footsteps had already disappeared before she finished speaking. Ping'er, walking towards her own carriage, heard nothing of the expected commotion, yet she was still filled with shyness and agitation. The closed carriage door revealed the boundless spring scenery within. The loyal and intelligent beauty had no choice but to cruelly separate the lovers. She didn't want her mistress and Master Bao to linger in the carriage until they reached Xuanzhen Temple. What if they got out disheveled, or even blushing, causing a huge uproar?!
Alas! The two, now fully conscious, were filled with regret, secretly lamenting why the journey had been so short!
The two lovers, after a moment's thought, fully understood Ping'er's good intentions. Few in the Jia family were fools; a slight misstep would give them ammunition!
"Sister, I have a plan..." Baoyu, unwilling to give up, quickly devised a scheme. He affectionately whispered his plan into Fengjie's earlobe.
"What? How can such a place be..." Fengjie playfully scolded, giving her lover a tender, loving look. The reproach in her eyes far outweighed the thrill of her attraction. The beauty instinctively clenched her already wet and sticky valley, and in a moment of impulse, shyly nodded, quietly agreeing to her lover's embarrassing idea.
"Good sister!" Baoyu exclaimed joyfully, taking advantage of the last moments while the beauty dressed to hasten his oral and manual pleasure. Although a passionate rendezvous had been arranged, he was still impatient!
Chapter 52 Adultery at Shuiyue Nunnery (1) "Stop it! How am I supposed to get dressed like this?" Fengjie half-jokingly brushed away her lover's mischievous hand from her lower body. The clever beauty quickly changed her mind and, in order to get dressed smoothly, she could only coquettishly divert Baoyu's attention, saying, "You naughty fellow, didn't you say the sound was blocked? How can you hear Ping'er's words?" "Hmm..." Baoyu was currently intoxicated by the beauty's full and soft breasts, sucking until the beauty was panting heavily. Only then did he give up his all-encompassing caresses and give the beauty some space to breathe. "I only said that no one outside could hear us, not that we couldn't hear the sounds outside, otherwise wouldn't we be exposed! Hehe..." "You're something else!" The beautiful young woman gave Baoyu a flirtatious glance, half-jokingly saying, "I don't know if what you said is true or not, you're just acting like a charlatan!" The beautiful woman's charming and affectionate glances made Baoyu's heart burn with desire, and he almost pounced on her again; but then he remembered the urgency of time and his lover's feelings, so he had to suppress his burning passion and helplessly stopped his fiery actions.
The two lovers sitting apart finally calmed down in their soft whispers. When the carriage paused slightly, the blush on Fengjie's fair face had faded, and the beautiful woman, with her natural composure, smiled gratefully at her lover's thoughtfulness, and then opened the carriage door and stepped out first.
"Grandma, be careful not to slip!" Ping'er, waiting by the carriage, stepped forward to help Second Grandma Feng, her words carrying a double meaning. She only relaxed after seeing that Second Grandma Feng was completely unharmed.
"Sister Feng, you must be tired!" Madam You, the eldest mistress of the Ningguo Mansion, emerged from the Xuanzhen Temple surrounded by a throng of maids and servants. Her stepmother and two younger sisters naturally followed closely behind. The four beautiful figures formed a captivating scene, causing Baoyu, who had just alighted from the carriage, to involuntarily brighten his eyes. Although he disliked the character of Madam You and her daughters, he had to admit that their beauty rivaled that of the other sisters in the Grand View Garden!
"Sister-in-law Zhen, you're too kind. It's my honor to be able to help the family!" Fengjie, her voluptuous figure curtsied in return, her face immediately displaying a shrewd and capable expression. Without further pleasantries, she swiftly turned to direct the scene.
Those parking cars, leading horses, carrying sacrificial offerings—nearly a hundred members of the Jia family sprang into action in an instant. Countless subtle sounds converged into a torrent, and the seemingly chaotic scene, under Fengjie's swift and decisive command, remained orderly and efficient! The
"fake" Baoyu looked around at the crowd with great interest, feeling no sadness whatsoever, but rather a sense of excitement and curiosity at this "lively" scene! This was understandable; possessing supernatural powers, he naturally understood the principles of reincarnation. Jia Jing was old enough to have died a natural death; without death, how could there be rebirth?! Perhaps Jia Jing was currently happy to be able to enjoy his youth again!
"Yu'er, what are you daydreaming about?" Aunt Xue's gentle call startled Baoyu awake. Looking up, he saw that all the ladies of the Jia family, accompanied by their personal maids, had arrived one after another. Besides Lady Wang and the beauties of the Grand View Garden, even Lady Xing, Yingchun's mother, whom he rarely saw, was among the crowd.
Truly a group of beauties of unparalleled grace! Gazing at the dozens of beauties before him, Baoyu couldn't help but marvel at this "grand gathering," lost in endless daydreams, secretly thinking that even a kingdom of women couldn't compare!
Escorted by nearly a hundred servants, the Jia family's cloud of beauties walked hand in hand into the inner courtyard. After all, they were women from a prominent family and naturally wouldn't show their faces in public; meeting men other than their closest relatives was improper. Of course, this automatically excluded Baoyu, the extremely favored special one!
As the second young master, Baoyu naturally had no choice but to reluctantly enter the crowd of men in the front courtyard. Fortunately, Fengjie, who was in charge of the Jia family's internal affairs, was there to accompany him, which gave him some comfort.
"Brother, you've come too!" As Baoyu entered the hall, Jia Lian was the first to step forward and greet him, speaking in a heavy voice, "You should also see the old master off!" "Brother Lian, you've worked hard!" Baoyu faced Jia Lian with a natural expression, feeling no guilt whatsoever. Seeing his feigned grief, he felt genuine disdain. Really! If you're going to fake it, at least do it properly! You can smell the sachet on him from afar! So unprofessional!
"Madam, you're back too!" Jia Lian stepped forward to greet Feng Jie, who entered shortly after. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity with his wife, but he never thought that wild flowers were always more fragrant than home-grown ones, so he didn't dwell on it. He quickly asked in a low voice, "Didn't Qiao Jie come home with you?" "Qiao Jie went out to play with Mother this morning..." Although Feng Jie had no feelings for Jia Lian, he was still Qiao Jie's biological father, so she naturally had to answer his question about her daughter. She was about to add that Qiao Jie would be back tomorrow, but Jia Lian, who had only asked casually, had already rushed into the crowd without saying a word. His eyes were scanning back and forth among the young maids.
Alas! Feng Jie's numb heart felt no surprise or resentment. In the past, she would have glared at Jia Lian, but the beauty whose heart had changed had no intention of glaring at him. She simply ignored Jia Lian as if he were a stranger.
"Sister, I'll go in first!" Baoyu's soft words instantly dispelled the gloom in the family's hearts caused by Jia Lian, forming a stark contrast to Jia Lian's ruthlessness.
In front of everyone, Fengjie didn't say much, only giving Baoyu a barely perceptible, knowing look. Watching her beloved's tall figure disappear, the beauty's spirits lifted, and with Ping'er's help, she skillfully began making arrangements.
Indeed, he had died from a "bear paw" wound! Baoyu alone bent down to examine Jia Jing's body. The servants and maids had all been ordered to retreat outside the room. Jia Jing, not yet placed in the coffin, had a face as pale as paper, cracked lips, and a large, clearly visible claw mark on his abdomen—the sign of ruptured meridians leading to death!
Having ascertained the reason, Baoyu carefully dressed his grandfather in his burial clothes. Then, his knees buckled, and he solemnly knelt before the body, respectfully kowtowing three times. The resounding "thump, thump" of his kowtow was utterly devoid of any playfulness. He had thought he understood the truth of reincarnation, but now, faced with the reality, he realized he was terribly wrong. Understanding and doing were two completely different things! Unable to witness it firsthand, he could use reason to calm his mind, but seeing Jia Jing's body, who had died for him, filled him with unbearable sorrow and guilt.
"Grandfather, rest in peace! I, 'fake' Baoyu, will do everything in my power to fulfill your wishes and help the Jia family overcome all difficulties!" Before his words were finished, Baoyu kowtowed again with a heavy thud! An unwavering conviction shone from his eyes; this normally lazy fellow made a rare, earnest promise—a promise that would never change!
"Good boy! I'm relieved!" On the road to the underworld, Jia Jing's drifting soul, being carried to the netherworld by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, suddenly stopped. Bao Yu's heroic vow, piercing through the realms of humans
and ghosts, echoed above his head. Moved, Jia Jing couldn't help but turn around and look, tears streaming down his face! "Hey! Isn't this that fun-loving human boy from last time?" Coincidentally, this time the soul-collecting pair were the same ghost messengers who had met Bao Yu once before. The talkative Ox-Head said with joy and surprise, "This kid looks so different!" "Stop talking!" The taciturn Horse-Face, as usual, succinctly denied Ox-Head's rambling.
"Brother, you're wrong about that!" Ox-Head, far from being angry, was delighted. He was afraid no one would argue with him. "You smoked quite a few of the cigarettes this kid secretly gave us last time, and now you're going back on your word?" "The job is more important!" Horse-Face's face flushed slightly, and he awkwardly sped up his flight. He couldn't resist Ox-Head's temptation and had smoked a few himself, only to become addicted and unable to quit!
"Heh, heh..." Ox-Head and Horse-Face had worked together for years, and it was rare for him to let his partner get the short end of the stick. He was even more smug now, deliberately shouting loudly, "Horse-Face, the cigarettes are almost gone. Should I ask this kid for a few more boxes another day?!" "Whatever!" Before the words were even finished, Horse-Face had already carried Jia Jing into the gates of hell, leaving Ox-Head there, gloating contentedly!
As evening fell, the long procession finally arrived at the Iron Threshold Temple from the Xuanzhen Temple. Amidst the chanting of nearly a hundred monks
, Jia Jing's coffin was carried into the temple. The Iron Threshold Temple was the Jia family's ancestral temple. Whenever a member of the Jia family died, his remains were first temporarily stored here before being transported back to the mansion to be mourned in a mourning hall. After the forty-nine-day mourning period, they would be escorted by close relatives back to their ancestral home in Jinling for burial.
The moment Baoyu entered the Iron Threshold Temple, his heart burned with excitement. His burning gaze unconsciously drifted towards another, slightly smaller Jia family ancestral temple not far away—the Water Moon Nunnery! Tonight, his long-cherished dream would be realized at the Water Moon Nunnery. How could Baoyu, his passion raging, not be filled with excitement and anticipation?!
Night fell, the crescent moon rose, and the long-noisy Iron Threshold Temple returned to tranquility. Everything was ready; they awaited the dawn to begin the ritual, promising a lively three-day ceremony.
Although the Iron Threshold Temple was part of the Jia family's ancestral temple with many side rooms, it was much more rudimentary than the Jia mansion itself. Moreover, it was quite inconvenient for the women of the family to stay out overnight. Therefore, Lady Wang, Lady Xing, Lady You, and others returned to the Jia mansion before it was completely dark. The sisters of the Grand View Garden followed closely behind. Only the second mistress of the Feng family, who was in charge, could not leave and did not want to leave. Feng Jie sent all the maids and servants back to the Jia mansion, leaving only her close friend Ping'er to serve her.
"Mistress, the main room in the inner courtyard has been cleaned up." Seeing that everything was in place, Ping'er gently comforted Feng Jie to take care of her health. "The Taoist ceremony will be held early tomorrow morning, so you should rest early!" "It's too noisy here. Let's rest at the Water Moon Nunnery. Anyway, the nunnery is not far from here, and it's convenient to go back and forth!" The beautiful Feng Jie put down the account book in her hand. Her gentle words were calm and natural, but she could not hide the blush that quietly appeared on her face.
"Grandma is right, Shuiyue Nunnery is much quieter than here! Besides, it's a nunnery, so it's more convenient for us to stay there!" The delicate Ping'er paused slightly, a look of joy appearing on her beautiful face. She didn't really want to stay in this monastery either. "I'll go find Abbess Jingxu right now and ask her to clean out a room for us!" "Wait!" Fengjie called out to Ping'er, her beautiful face losing its composure. A blush instantly spread across her cheeks. Under Ping'er's questioning gaze, the beauty gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and mustered her courage, saying, "Have Abbess Jingxu vacate a room, and Baoyu can come with us to the nunnery to rest!" "Ah!" Ping'er screamed in shock, attracting the attention of even the maids standing at the hall door. In an instant, several gazes enveloped Fengjie's panicked heart.
"Spicy" Sister Feng, true to her extraordinary nature, though her heart was churning with turmoil, maintained an impeccable composure. Her subtly authoritative gaze swept over the servants, instantly extinguishing any curiosity they might have had, who bowed respectfully and avoided eye contact.
"Brother Bao is the Old Madam's darling, he's always lived in quiet places," Sister Feng explained softly to Ping'er, though actually speaking to the servants at the door. "He can't stand living in such a noisy temple! If something were to happen to him, the Old Madam would be heartbroken, and we wouldn't be able to escape responsibility!" "This is indeed not a place for Second Master Bao!" Ping'er, quick-witted and understanding her mistress's thoughts perfectly, chimed in with a raised voice. "I'll go and instruct Abbess Jingxu to clean the rooms!" Sister Feng's explanation was a blatant attempt to cover up the truth for Ping'er, but to the servants it was perfectly reasonable—everything was exactly as it should be! Even the grand, "Daughter Kingdom"-like Grand View Garden had its resident Grandmother Jia willing to accommodate Bao Yu, let alone the humble Water Moon Nunnery!
A crescent moon hung high, all was silent! Yet, beneath the night's veil, the Water Moon Nunnery exuded a subtle fragrance and boundless warmth!
In the east and west wing rooms, separated by the darkness, a pair of lovers gazed impatiently at the night outside their windows, awaiting the moment their passion would ignite!
Ah! Bao Yu roared inwardly, his desire pounding wildly. Unable to resist any longer, he surrendered, and driven by lust, he leaped through the wall and disappeared into the east wing room.
The thick door could not stop the passionate "fragrance thief," whose swift figure passed through without hesitation, appearing out of thin air in the west wing room.
Her exquisite body lay sprawled behind the gauze curtains. Although the thick quilts concealed her curves, they could not hide her delicate charm. Her beautiful face ignited a burning passion in Bao Yu's heart, while also slowly evoking endless tenderness. Bao Yu only wanted to cherish the beauty and could not bear to cause her any sorrow!
